More about Lighting
Industrial lighting is critical for safety, efficiency and compliance in demanding environments such as factories, warehouses and production plants. Unlike homes or offices, industrial spaces need high-output, durable lighting that can cope with dust, moisture, vibration and temperature extremes while lighting large areas evenly.
Typical industrial lighting services include high-bay and low-bay fittings, floodlights for yards, fittings certified for hazardous areas, and industrial lighting installations, including emergency lighting for escape routes. Energy-efficient LED retrofits are also a priority as most fluorescent and halogen lamps are phased out of sale, reducing energy bills while giving reliable long-term performance. Good design improves visibility, reduces accidents and supports productivity on the shop floor.
The rules that apply
- Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992: suitable and sufficient lighting, with HSE's HSG38 giving guidance on levels for different tasks.
- Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: emergency lighting on escape routes that need it, normally designed and tested to BS 5266-1.
- BS 7671:2018+A4:2026: the wiring, protection and certification of lighting circuits.
- DSEAR 2002: where there is a risk of explosive atmospheres, zones must be classified and equipment chosen to suit.
- Work at Height Regulations 2005: high-bay installation and maintenance need properly planned access.
Many facilities also schedule regular electrical inspections; Electrical Safety First recommends periodic inspection of business premises at least every five years, and the inspector may set a shorter interval for industrial sites.
