Office lighting in Loughborough
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Loughborough 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 Loughborough
For office lighting in Loughborough 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.
Many Loughborough office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Loughborough is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts LE12 and LE11. We regularly work across Leicestershire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Loughborough
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.
Loughborough FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Loughborough?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Loughborough offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you remove the old fittings in Loughborough?
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 Loughborough?
Most surveys in Loughborough 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.
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.
