Commercial Lighting Installation in Colchester
Lighting Electrical installs commercial lighting for shops, offices, warehouses and workshops in Colchester and the surrounding Essex towns. We survey the space, fit the luminaires and controls, and leave you with working lights and a certificate when the work needs one.
“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

Commercial lighting for shops and offices
- Owners, managers and landlords book this work when a shop, office, warehouse or workshop in Colchester or nearby Essex needs new lights, LED replacements or extra fittings on the same circuits.
- Retail units in Colchester, Witham and Maldon often need brighter sales floors, stock rooms and window displays. We replace old fluorescent battens with LED fittings and add switching that staff can use without a ladder.
- Offices in Stanway, Marks Tey and Coggeshall book extra panels, sensor switching and replacement of failed fittings so desks, meeting rooms and corridors stay usable through the working day.
- Warehouses around Tiptree, Kelvedon and Brightlingsea need high level fittings that survive dust, height and long hours. We plan access, isolation and circuit loading before any luminaire comes down.

What happens on the day
We attend in opening hours unless you have booked an out of hours slot. Calls are answered any time.
- 01
Arrival and isolation
We meet you or the keyholder, walk the rooms, isolate the circuits we will work on, and confirm fitting positions against the written price.
- 02
Fitting and controls
We mount the luminaires, terminate the cables, and set switches, dimmers or occupancy sensors so staff can run the lights without climbing.
- 03
Test and certificate
We energise the circuit, check each fitting, and issue a minor works certificate from £95 when the work needs one. Emergency lighting tests and certificates start from £150 if that is booked as well.
Commercial lighting installation price
Commercial lighting installation starts from £65 per fitting. That buys fitting one commercial luminaire with basic switching in a typical shop or office around Colchester, once the fitting is on site for the job.
- The starting price is per fitting, not a price for a whole room or building.
- High level warehouse fittings, dimming, new circuits and emergency lighting are priced after we see the ceiling and the existing wiring.
- Work booked outside opening hours follows the emergency electrician rate from £90/hr.
What you get after commercial lighting
You are left with working lights in the rooms we were booked for, controls staff can use, and paperwork that matches the work done.
- Installed fittings and controls
- The luminaires sit on the ceiling or wall, the switches and sensors work, and the circuit is live so the shop, office or warehouse can open.
- How bright the room ends up
- We do not quote a brightness figure we have not measured on site. Workplace lighting levels sit in HSG38, and any number we give you comes from a meter reading in that room.
Official workplace lighting guidance
Workplace lighting in the UK follows HSE guidance on how bright a room should be and how the electrics that feed it must be treated.
- HSE workplace lighting guidanceThe HSE page on lighting at work sets out glare, contrast and how poor light affects people on the shop floor or in an office.
- HSG38 lighting at work bookHSG38 is the HSE book that lists lighting levels for different tasks, from corridors and stores to detailed bench work.
- HSE electrical safety regulationsThe HSE electrical safety pages cover isolation, live working and the duties that sit with anyone who alters lighting circuits.
Why customers choose Lighting Electrical
A building keeps trading while the fittings change, so the hours are settled first and the figure is written before anything comes down.
