Sectors guides.

Every sector puts different demands on recessed 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 recessed 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

• Recessed lighting for offices: linear and downlight options — Offices use recessed linear lighting and low-glare downlights to deliver uniform, LG7-compliant light with clean ceilings and flexible controls.
• Recessed lighting for hotels, restaurants and bars — Hospitality spaces use warm, dimmable recessed downlights and slim linear lines to build atmosphere while keeping ceilings clean and unobtrusive.
• Recessed lighting for retail stores and showrooms — Retail spaces use high-CRI recessed downlights and clean linear lines to show products accurately, guide customers and keep the focus on merchandise.
• Recessed lighting for healthcare and clinical spaces — Healthcare spaces use flush, cleanable recessed lighting with even distribution, low glare, emergency integration and night modes.
• Recessed lighting for schools, colleges and universities — Education spaces use low-glare recessed linear lighting and downlights with daylight and presence controls for comfortable, efficient classrooms.
