Office lighting FAQs for West Glamorgan
Which towns in West Glamorgan do you cover?
All of West Glamorgan, including Swansea, Neath and Briton Ferry. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
Which fire safety law applies in West Glamorgan?
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.
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.
Panels or linear pendants?
Recessed 600×600 panels suit suspended grid ceilings and are the simplest swap. Linear suspended fittings suit exposed soffits and can light both the desk and the ceiling, which makes a space feel brighter.
