Office lighting in Norwich
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Norwich over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Norwich
Reception areas in Norwich often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
If your Norwich office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Norwich sits within Norfolk. We work throughout the NR1, NR2 and NR3 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Bowthorpe, Taverham and Alpington.

Norwich FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Norwich?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you remove the old fittings in Norwich?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
