Office lighting in Hereford
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Hereford and Herefordshire. Meeting rooms are where Hereford offices waste most light. Presence detectors that switch off after a set time pay back quickly in rooms that sit empty for half the day.
Local office lighting in Hereford
For office lighting in Hereford 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.
We usually phase office work in Hereford over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Our teams travel to Hereford from across Herefordshire. Typical nearby jobs include Hampton Bishop, Burghill and Allensmore, so we can often combine survey visits.

Rules that apply in Hereford
Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.
In Great Britain, common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by ecodesign rules from 1 September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended on 1 February 2024.
Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
Hereford FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Hereford?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Hereford offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you remove the old fittings in Hereford?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How quickly can you survey in Hereford?
Most surveys in Hereford can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do we need sensors in an office?
They are worth it in meeting rooms, toilets, kitchens and stores, where lights are often left on. Daylight dimming along windows also saves energy in perimeter zones.
