Office Lighting
Poor lighting in an office affects productivity, wellbeing and compliance. We design and install commercial lighting systems for offices and workplaces across Milton Keynes — from full LED refits and new installations to circuit additions and emergency lighting integration.
About This Service
Office Lighting
We design, supply and install office lighting for commercial premises across Milton Keynes. Our work covers full LED lighting refits replacing fluorescent tube systems, new lighting installations for fit-outs and refurbishments, task lighting circuits, feature and ambient lighting, and integration with emergency lighting systems. All installations are carried out by our qualified team with correct circuit design, switching arrangements and energy calculations where required for Building Regulations compliance.
Our Process
How It Works
Site Visit and Lighting Design
We assess the space, discuss your requirements and produce a practical lighting design covering fitting positions, circuit layout, switching zones and compliance with relevant standards including maintained lux levels.
Supply and Installation
We supply and fit specified luminaires, install containment, run circuits back to the distribution board and set up switching arrangements including occupancy sensors or scene-setting controls if required.
Testing, Commissioning and Handover
The completed installation is tested and commissioned, with circuit documentation provided and occupants briefed on any control systems or emergency lighting test requirements.
Benefits
Why Choose us for Office Lighting
Energy Savings with LED Retrofit
Replacing old fluorescent or HID lighting with LED typically reduces energy consumption by 50–70%, with improved light quality and a significant reduction in lamp replacement maintenance.
Improved Workplace Wellbeing
Well-designed office lighting reduces eye strain and fatigue. We specify appropriate colour temperatures and maintained lux levels for screen-based working environments.
Compliance with CIBSE and Building Regulations
Commercial lighting installations should meet CIBSE LG7 guidance for office environments. We design to these standards and handle Part L compliance documentation where required.
Office lighting projects range from a straightforward swap of fittings in a small office to a full lighting redesign across multiple floors of a commercial building. We work with facilities managers, office fit-out contractors and direct with business owners, and can coordinate with other trades on larger projects. Our team has experience installing leading LED product ranges and can integrate with DALI and standard switching systems. Where offices also require emergency lighting, we design and install both systems together for a coherent, compliant installation — avoiding the additional cost of bringing in a separate contractor for each system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace our old fluorescent lighting with LED without rewiring?
In most cases, yes. Many modern LED panels and tubes are designed to retrofit directly into existing fluorescent housings using the existing circuit. We assess compatibility during the site visit and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
Do you install emergency lighting in offices?
Yes — we install, test and certify emergency lighting as part of office lighting projects or as a standalone installation. Emergency lighting is a legal requirement in commercial premises and must be tested monthly and serviced annually.
Can you install lighting controls and occupancy sensors?
Yes — we install PIR occupancy sensors, daylight-linked dimming, zone switching and scene-setting controls for offices that require more sophisticated energy management or BREEAM compliance.
What lux levels are required in an office environment?
CIBSE LG7 guidance recommends a maintained illuminance of 500 lux at desk level for general office work. We design to these levels and can provide photometric calculations if required for planning or compliance purposes.
How long does an office lighting installation take?
This depends on the size of the space and scope of works. A small office LED refit can be completed in a day; larger installations across multiple areas are planned in phases to avoid disrupting operations.
