Office lighting in Gateshead
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Gateshead and Tyne and Wear. Many Gateshead 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 Gateshead
Meeting rooms are where Gateshead 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.
Offices in Gateshead range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Gateshead sits within Tyne and Wear. We work throughout the NE8, NE99 and NE1 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Felling and Byker.

Rules that apply in Gateshead
Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.
In Great Britain, 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.
Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
