Office lighting FAQs for Mid Glamorgan
Which fire safety law applies in Mid Glamorgan?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Mid Glamorgan?
The Welsh Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Mid Glamorgan must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
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.
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.
