Office lighting in Havant
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Havant over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Havant
For office lighting in Havant we design to about 500 lux on desks, as BS EN 12464-1 suggests, and keep glare off screens by choosing the right optics rather than simply adding more light.
If your Havant office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Havant is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts PO9, PO10 and PO7. We regularly work across Hampshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Havant FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Havant?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you remove the old fittings in Havant?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
How many lux does an office need?
BS EN 12464-1:2021 gives 500 lux maintained on the task area for writing, reading and data processing. Surrounding areas, corridors and break-out spaces can be lower. The standard also sets limits for glare and uniformity.
