If you’re responsible for a commercial site, you will understand the importance of maintaining safety and aesthetics on the premises. One key measure to consider in this is lighting and how it can be used to minimise hazards. By thinking carefully about the lighting installed throughout your business premises, both indoors and outdoors, you will not only transform the look, feel and functionality of the space but also improve safety.

The benefits of commercial lighting
Installing high-quality commercial lighting offers a wealth of benefits in terms of both aesthetics and functionality; these include:
- Enhanced aesthetics – not only does commercial lighting achieve a more professional feel, but you also have the freedom to be creative and use lighting as a focal point for your premises.
- Improved morale – lighting has a huge impact on psychological wellbeing, so by ensuring that the workspaces in your premises are properly illuminated, you will enhance employee morale and, therefore, productivity.
- Improved safety – poorly lit areas are hazardous, especially after dark, increasing the risk of trips, falls, and other accidents. Installing commercial lighting across your premises will help you to minimise injuries on your site.
- Comply with regulations – by installing adequate lighting, including emergency lighting, throughout your commercial premises, you will help to ensure that the site complies with safety regulations.
- Environmentally conscious – we can install solar panels and battery storage systems to maximise the sustainability of your commercial building. Reduce your carbon footprint and improve your business’ image with renewably powered lighting.

LED lighting
When choosing our commercial LED lighting services, our team will deliver a full supply and fit package tailored to your needs. This is, by far, one of the most popular options amongst businesses for many reasons, such as:
- Save money – LED lighting is incredibly energy efficient, so running it is highly cost-effective when compared to alternatives.
- Longevity – this type of lighting has a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, or ten years of continuous use, which is far longer than other types of bulbs.
- Efficiency – LED lights rapidly reach full brightness once switched on, whilst other types of lighting may take some time.
- Eco-friendly – as well as being extremely energy efficient, LED bulbs can be recycled at the end of their lifespan, unlike many other bulb types, since they contain no harsh chemicals.
Emergency lighting
Emergency lighting is an essential feature of any commercial premises. There are four different types, which are as follows:
- Standby lighting – illuminates spaces when the power goes off.
- Escape route lighting – lights up escape routes in the event of an emergency.
- Open area lighting – helps direct people towards the nearest escape route.
- High-risk task area lighting – illuminates workspaces that require the use of hazardous tools and machinery to allow safe evacuation.
Naturally, it is essential that emergency lighting is properly installed so that it complies with safety regulations. Our highly competent team of electricians in Leighton Buzzard and the surrounding areas are fully trained in the provision and installation of emergency lighting solutions. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with our team to find out more.
