School and education lighting work in Merseyside
Schools in Merseyside are often lit for long days plus evening lettings, so LED and corridor sensors pay back faster than in many offices.
We plan Merseyside school projects around half-terms and the summer holiday, with sports halls and corridors first.
What's included
- Holiday-period programmes and DBS-aware site practices
- 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 Merseyside
Emergency lighting in Merseyside falls under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must make sure people can see their way out if the power fails, and keep records of testing.
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.
