Office lighting in Surrey
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 Surrey, including Woking, Guildford and Esher.
Office lighting work in Surrey
Meeting rooms are where Surrey 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 Surrey 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
- Emergency lighting checked and integrated with the new layout
- Presence detection in meeting rooms, toilets and stores
- Out-of-hours installation so desks stay usable during the working day

Office lighting FAQs for Surrey
How are prices set in Surrey?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Surrey?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Surrey must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
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.
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.
