Office lighting FAQs for Lanarkshire

Which towns in Lanarkshire do you cover?
All of Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cumbernauld. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
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.
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.
