Did you know that inadequate lighting can significantly affect health in the workplace? Beyond mere visibility, poor lighting can cause eye strain, headaches, and fatigue. It's also linked to decreased focus, productivity, and overall well-being among employees.
Our surveys pinpoint areas where lighting falls short, aiming to rectify these issues to create a healthier work environment.
All businesses must consider the health and safety risks related to lighting in order to ensure a safe working space.
Other lighting hazards include safety risks caused by inadequate or improper selection of emergency lighting, incorrect design, lighting effects, poor maintenance, incorrect disposal and improper installation.
Light surveys serve as a blueprint for enhancing your workspace. We pave the way for targeted improvements by identifying lighting deficiencies and inefficiencies. Our lighting surveys consider factors like brightness, colour temperature, and uniformity to craft a lighting solution that aligns with your space and objectives.
A well-lit environment is more than just visibility—it's about fostering an atmosphere that promotes productivity and comfort. Our surveys focus on optimising lighting conditions to reduce glare, enhance visual clarity, and create an ambience conducive to work. By doing so, we aim to boost employee satisfaction and efficiency.
Beyond the health and productivity benefits, efficient lighting saves energy and reduces operational costs. Through our surveys, we identify opportunities for energy-efficient solutions and lighting upgrades that benefit the environment and positively impact your bottom line.
In the UK, there are several laws and regulations that govern sufficient and safe lighting in the workplace environment.
The primary legislation is the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, which places a general duty on employers to ensure all their employees' health, safety, and welfare at work. This includes providing adequate lighting to enable employees to work safely and without risk to their eyesight.
The Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 provide more specific guidance on recommended illumination levels and requirements. Regulation 8 of these Regulations states that employers must ensure that:
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has also published a guidance document called HSG 38: Lighting at Work. This document provides more detailed advice on assessing and managing typical risks in the workplace and recommended lighting levels for different activities. Here are some of the key points from HSG 38:
In addition to the above, employers should also consider the following factors when assessing lighting risks in the workplace:
Employers should carry out regular risk assessments to identify and control lighting risks in their workplaces. They should also provide employees with training on the importance of safe lighting and how to report any problems with lighting.
No two spaces are alike. That's why our approach is bespoke and tailored to your specific needs and environment. Whether it's an office, warehouse, or retail space, our surveys provide insights and recommendations customised to maximise lighting performance.
With the expert team at Powervolt Team, you get more than just a survey – you get a comprehensive evaluation coupled with actionable insights and tailored solutions. Our goal is to transform your lighting into a strategic asset, elevating your workspace to new levels of efficiency, comfort, and visual appeal.

Switching to LED lighting offers UK businesses significant energy savings, reduced maintenance costs, and a lower carbon footprint. LEDs have a longer lifespan compared to traditional lighting, which means fewer replacements and less waste. Additionally, LED lights provide better quality illumination, enhancing the work environment.
UK businesses can expect to save up to 50-90% on their lighting energy costs by switching to LED lighting. The exact savings depend on the current lighting used, the type of LEDs installed, and the usage patterns, but the reduction in energy consumption is substantial, leading to significant cost savings over time.
LED lighting offers superior light quality compared to traditional lighting solutions, with better control over colour temperature and brightness. This results in a more natural and comfortable lighting environment. In the UK, businesses often notice improved visibility and reduced eye strain for employees when switching to LED lighting.
In the UK, the payback period for switching to LED lighting typically ranges from 1 to 3 years, depending on the scale of the installation, the type of LEDs used, and the intensity of usage. After this initial period, businesses continue to benefit from reduced energy costs and lower maintenance requirements.
