BCO Guide to Lighting
The main message is to use daylight effectively and use artificial lighting only where and when it’s is needed. This objective also helps us to reduce the amount of energy consumed by lighting which is further helped by the new technology available in lighting.
This new Guide is split into three sections: the first focuses on daylight and energy use, the second looks at the science and principles behind the lighting practice and the third gives examples and specific guidance for shell and core, Category A and Category B lighting solutions.
It is aligned with the latest guidance from the British Standards Institution (BS EN 12464-1) and the Society of Light and Lighting.

We are unable to post publications to Ireland (Republic and Northern Ireland) as they are being returned, due to the post-Brexit legal agreement between the UK and the EU, which creates a customs border between Great Britain and Northern Ireland to ensure goods do not cross into the Republic of Ireland without proper checks.
