LED lighting for exam success

We know that the right LED lighting doesn’t just brighten a room—it can help brighten results.

St Peter’s Catholic School

Spetisbury CE Primary School

As exam season looms and pencils get sharpened to anxiety-inducing points, schools are turning their attention to something often overlooked: lighting.

Not just any lighting—but the kind that boosts focus, reduces eye strain, and keeps students alert when it counts most.


🔍 The Specs That Make the Grade

According to UK and EU standards (BS EN 12464-1:2021), the recommended illuminance for exam settings is 500 lux.

Here’s what else schools should aim for:

ILLUMINANCE - 500 lux minimum for reading, writing and deep thinking

COLOUR TEMP - 4000–5000K to enhance alertness and concentration

GLARE CONTROL - UGR < 19 to prevent visual discomfort and distraction

UNIFORMITY - Even light distribution across desks—no shadows, no hotspots

FLICKER FREE - Prevents visual fatigue and keeps students locked in


🔧 Low Disruption, High Impact

We get it—schools are busy places. That’s why our installation process is designed to be:

  • Fast and flexible (we work around school hours and term time)

  • Quiet and clean (no drilling symphonies or chaos in corridors)

  • Fully managed, so your team doesn’t have to chase contractors

We handle the hard stuff, so you can focus on the important bit: education.
