Office lighting in Carlton
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Carlton and Nottinghamshire. Offices in Carlton range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Local office lighting in Carlton
For office lighting in Carlton 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.
We usually phase office work in Carlton over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Carlton sits within Nottinghamshire. We work throughout the NG4, NG3 and NG1 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Arnold, Nottingham and West Bridgford.

Rules that apply in Carlton
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.
Carlton FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Carlton?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Carlton?
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.
Can you work out of hours in Carlton?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Carlton offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do we need sensors in an office?
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.
