Office lighting in Blackburn
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Blackburn and Lancashire. Many Blackburn 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 Blackburn
Meeting rooms are where Blackburn 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.
Reception areas in Blackburn often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
We cover the whole of Blackburn, including the BB2, BB1 and BB3 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Darwen, Accrington and Bamber Bridge.

Rules that apply in Blackburn
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.

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

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.
