Office lighting in Kelso
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Kelso and the Scottish Borders. Many Kelso office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Local office lighting in Kelso
Meeting rooms are where Kelso offices waste most light. Presence detectors that switch off after a set time pay back quickly in rooms that sit empty for half the day.
If your Kelso office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Kelso is a smaller town, covered by postcode district TD5. We regularly work across the Scottish Borders, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Kelso
Standard 6.5 of the Scottish building standards covers efficient, controllable lighting. The non-domestic guidance uses 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt for general lighting, or LENI.
In Great Britain, including Scotland, 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.
Scotland does not use the England and Wales EPC E letting rule. Instead, some non-domestic buildings over 1,000 m² need an action plan when sold or let, under Section 63 regulations.
Kelso FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Kelso?
Most surveys in Kelso can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do you cover all of Kelso?
Yes. We work across Kelso and the TD5 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Greenlaw, Cornhill-on-Tweed and Jedburgh.
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 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.
