Office lighting in Wick
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Wick and the Highlands and Islands. Many Wick office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Local office lighting in Wick
If your Wick office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Offices in Wick range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Wick is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district KW1. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Wick by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.

Rules that apply in Wick
Standard 6.5 of the Scottish building standards covers efficient, controllable lighting. The non-domestic guidance uses 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt for general lighting, or LENI.
In Great Britain, including Scotland, 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.
Scotland does not use the England and Wales EPC E letting rule. Instead, some non-domestic buildings over 1,000 m² need an action plan when sold or let, under Section 63 regulations.
Wick FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Wick?
Most surveys in Wick 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.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Wick?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you cover all of Wick?
Yes. We work across Wick and the KW1 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Lybster, Halkirk and Thurso.
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.
