Local office lighting in Didcot
Many Didcot office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
If your Didcot office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.

Rules that apply in Didcot
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.
