School and education lighting work in Hampshire
Schools in Hampshire are often lit for long days plus evening lettings, so LED and corridor sensors pay back faster than in many offices.
We plan Hampshire school projects around half-terms and the summer holiday, with sports halls and corridors first.
What's included
- Emergency lighting upgrades and test regimes
- External and car park lighting
- Sports hall high bays with impact protection
- Classroom LED panels with good uniformity and low glare

Rules that apply in Hampshire
Fire safety duties for premises in Hampshire come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Whoever is responsible for fire safety must make sure escape routes are lit if the normal supply fails, and that the system is tested and maintained.
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.
