Commercial Lighting
Lighting installation and alterations for workplaces and public areas
Commercial lighting must support safe access, staff tasks, customer presentation and maintainability.
The right lighting depends on room use, mounting height, controls, emergency-lighting interfaces and future maintenance access.

How We Complete Commercial Lighting
Each commercial lighting project has a service-specific scope, with more detail available in our shared electrical project process.
Step 1
Initial discussion
We confirm the commercial requirement, who the work affects and the practical reason for the enquiry.
Step 2
Site assessment
The existing installation, access, likely cable routes and any constraints are reviewed before the scope is finalised.
Step 3
Scope and quotation
The quotation describes the agreed commercial lighting scope, known assumptions and exclusions.
Step 4
Planning and access
Dates, isolations, access arrangements and coordination with other trades or site users are agreed before work starts.
Step 5
Installation
The work is completed with attention to area use, fitting selection, maintenance access, controls, installation and testing.
Step 6
Inspection and testing
New or altered electrical work is inspected and tested where required before handover.
Step 7
Certification and handover
Appropriate certification, labels, records and operating information are provided for the work within scope.
Regulations, Safety and Scope
Commercial electrical work is completed to the current edition of BS 7671 and applicable Scottish Building Standards requirements.
Access, isolations, fire-safety interfaces, emergency systems and business operations are considered when they affect the agreed electrical scope.

Commercial Lighting Questions and Answers
Is this the same as LED upgrades?

Can emergency lighting be included?
Electrical installation work can be included, but design and fire-risk duties must be clear.
Can you work around trading hours?
Access and isolation timing can be discussed for each premises.
