Sectors guides.

Every sector puts different demands on LED retrofit and sustainable lighting. Offices need LG7-compliant brightness and low glare; hospitality wants warmth and dimming; retail needs accurate colour; education and healthcare need durability, cleanability and easy maintenance. These guides look at how LED retrofit and sustainable lighting is used sector by sector, with the specification points, typical layouts and pitfalls we see most often across UK commercial projects.

What these guides cover

• Sector-specific lighting levels, glare and colour targets
• Typical layouts and fittings that work in each space
• Maintenance, controls and compliance points per sector

All sectors guides

• LED retrofit for listed and heritage buildings — Retrofit lets listed and heritage buildings move to LED while keeping original fittings and protected ceilings intact, often avoiding the consents needed for new fittings.
• Office lighting upgrades for landlords — Landlords use LED retrofit between tenancies and during Cat A refurbishments to cut running costs, improve energy performance and upgrade space without full replacement.
• LED retrofit for schools and education — Schools and colleges use LED retrofit to cut energy costs, improve classroom light and reduce carbon across estates without replacing every fitting.
• LED retrofit for co-working and hospitality — Co-working spaces, cafés and hotels use retrofit to refresh lighting quickly with minimal downtime and less waste.
• LED retrofit for the public sector — Councils, NHS sites and public buildings use retrofit to stretch budgets, cut carbon and upgrade lighting across large estates.
