Office lighting in Staffordshire
Office lighting is the design and installation of luminaires that light desks, meeting rooms, circulation areas and receptions to the right level without glare. We cover Staffordshire, including Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle under Lyme and Burton upon Trent.
Office lighting work in Staffordshire
Meeting rooms are where Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
What's included
- Layouts that hit around 500 lux on desks with low glare on screens
- LED panels, linear suspended fittings or downlights to suit your ceilings
- Presence detection in meeting rooms, toilets and stores
- Emergency lighting checked and integrated with the new layout

Office lighting FAQs for Staffordshire
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Staffordshire?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Staffordshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Which fire safety law applies in Staffordshire?
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.
Can you work outside office hours?
Yes. Most office projects are done in the evening or at weekends, a zone at a time, so staff come back to a working floor.
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.
