Office lighting in Mendip
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Mendip and Somerset. If your Mendip office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Local office lighting in Mendip
Reception areas in Mendip often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
For office lighting in Mendip 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.
Mendip is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode district BA5. We regularly work across Somerset, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Mendip FAQs

Which rules apply to lighting work in Mendip?
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.
How quickly can you survey in Mendip?
Most surveys in Mendip 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 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.
