Office lighting FAQs for Powys
Which fire safety law applies in Powys?
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.
Which towns in Powys do you cover?
All of Powys, including Caersws, Castle Caereinion and Duhonw. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
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.
