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

Rules that apply in North Yorkshire
Fire safety duties for premises in North Yorkshire 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.

School and education lighting FAQs for North Yorkshire
What energy rules apply to new lighting in North Yorkshire?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in North Yorkshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Which fire safety law applies in North Yorkshire?
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.
How bright should a classroom be?
Long-standing BS EN 12464-1 tables give 300 lux for classrooms, with 500 lux commonly designed where work is more detailed or for older pupils. The current edition adds adjustments for task and context, so we confirm the target on survey.
Can the work be done during term?
Most of it is planned for half-terms and the summer break. Smaller items can be done after school hours.
