School and education lighting work in Surrey

We plan Surrey school projects around half-terms and the summer holiday, with sports halls and corridors first.

Schools in Surrey are often lit for long days plus evening lettings, so LED and corridor sensors pay back faster than in many offices.

What's included

External and car park lighting
Holiday-period programmes and DBS-aware site practices
Corridor and toilet presence detection
Sports hall high bays with impact protection

Rules that apply in Surrey

For buildings in Surrey, the duty to provide adequate emergency lighting where escape routes need it, and to keep it tested, sits with the responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

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.
