Office lighting in Stevenage

In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Stevenage 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.

Local office lighting in Stevenage

Reception areas in Stevenage often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.

If your Stevenage office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.

We cover the whole of Stevenage, including the SG1, SG2 and SG4 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Ippollitts, Knebworth and Hitchin.

Rules that apply in Stevenage

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.

Stevenage FAQs

Do you cover all of Stevenage?

Yes. We work across Stevenage and the SG1, SG2 and SG4 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Ippollitts, Knebworth and Hitchin.

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.

Do you remove the old fittings in Stevenage?

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.

Panels or linear pendants?

Recessed 600×600 panels suit suspended grid ceilings and are the simplest swap. Linear suspended fittings suit exposed soffits and can light both the desk and the ceiling, which makes a space feel brighter.
