The aim of this guide is to reflect these changes and provide readers with a firm foundation from which to approach exterior lighting design. Since light source technology is advancing rapidly, the guide provides a holistic approach to the design of the exterior environment, rather than concentrating on product performance, which quickly becomes out of date.
One of the major differences between this current guide and the previous edition is the emphasis on environmental and energy issues. Digitally controlled lighting is becoming an increasingly important facet of lighting design. Another major difference is the growing use of solid state lighting (SSL). This normally refers to LEDs, although other SSL sources are being introduced.
The below table provides a helpful guide to the CIBSE recommended lighting levels for the most common premises types. Remember, this is a guide and any specific building requirements need to be carefully considered. If in doubt, consult an expert! Mount Lighting can provide advice on the correct lighting solution for any application, drawing on our decades of experience in the lighting sector.
Lighting levels for hospitals and health care centres are specialised and complex, seek guidance from the C.I.B.S.E guide for interior lighting. These levels are based on the C.I.B.S.E guide for interior lighting and cover only the most common applications.
This guide takes the reader through the process of designing for daylighting, addressing the issues of aesthetics and building physics that lie at the heart of the discipline of architecture. This requires architects to understand the basic aspects of the engineering of light, and engineers to have a grasp of aesthetics. The format of the guide parallels the design process, beginning with outline considerations of form and orientation and leading on to the more detailed aspects of designing the building envelope to admit or to filter natural light through different shading systems. It also deals with the multitude of different visualisation techniques that allow the design team to explore the appearance of design solutions. In addition, it provides a guide to more detailed resource material.
The document has been written primarily for use when new design work is to be undertaken. However, much of the guidance will be applicable to refurbishment projects. The guidance in this document is written primarily for buildings located within the UK, and will be most applicable to projects in northern hemisphere temperate climates. However, the principles are universal, and can be applied to other locations if the appropriate weather data is used and local standards and regulations are respected.

Lighting Guide 12 Emergency lighting has been written not only for use when design work is to be undertaken but also to assist engineers in evaluating existing premises against current standards and requirements of legislation.
In the United Kingdom, nearly all premises need to be risk assessed with an Emergency Lighting Risk Assessment developed so that the emergency lighting system compensates for risks to occupants in the event of failure of the normal lighting electrical supply for the particular project circumstances.
Emergency lighting is not a complex lighting design problem, but it is a difficult design management problem. Premises must be compliant to the latest emergency lighting requirements throughout their occupied life.
Design duties include: to gather information, coordinate, inform/educate and manage the design team and installer to provide the responsible person (client) with a compliant emergency lighting system which is optimal to the needs of the client and is a fully functional life safety system for the use of the premises.
As emergency lighting is a life safety system, it is vital that clear and unambiguous terminology is used for all life safety systems. It should be noted that in this version of the guide the definitions defined by the BSI have been used throughout.
The guidance in this document is written primarily for buildings located within the United Kingdom but not internationally. It should be noted that there are minor variations for Northern Ireland and Scotland. However, the principles for emergency lighting are universal and can be applied to other locations if the appropriate local conditions, standards and regulations are respected. The document was written by a committee of the Society of Light and Lighting.
This title was reviewed and updated in October 2018; the PDF version available for download here incorporates all changes. If you have purchased the hard copy version, please contact [email protected] for a copy of the addenda.
This is the 2012 revision of the Guide on Lighting for Industry published by the Society of Light and Lighting, part of The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers. It is intended as an introduction to the subject of industrial lighting for lighting engineers, specifiers, users and students. It is essentially a compendium of experience. With the aim of making the guide suitable for a wide readership, the task group has concentrated upon the practical applications of lighting in industry and on giving proven solutions to practical problems.
The scope of this guide is concerned with lighting for industry. Industry is taken to be those activities involved in the production, treatment, manufacture and distribution of products. Associated areas such as offices and sales rooms are not considered in this guide. By lighting it is meant those facilities whose primary purpose is to enable people to see to perform work. Light as a direct part of the production process is not considered in this guide. Given the myriad of different products produced by industry it is impossible to consider each one separately and even if it was the resulting document would be extremely large and very repetitious. Therefore, the approach adopted here is to consider each industry separately, bringing out the specific lighting problems posed by that industry. If you cannot find a mention of the activity which interests you in this guide then examining the discussion of an analogous activity will often be worthwhile.
The guide also includes up-to-date legislation where relevant and incorporates best practice principles throughout. Individual industry characteristics have been aligned to BS EN 12464: Part 1: 2011 where possible, including the introduction of a distinction between task area and surrounding areas, and the subsequent recommendation of uniformity for those areas. Indeed, uniformity has been given far more importance throughout the Guide, with recommended minimum values in the tables appertaining to each particular industry.
This revised Lighting Guide replaces LG4 Sports lighting, published in 2006. Recommendations within this guide have been aligned to the British Standard and European Norm (BS EN) 12193 (BSI, 2018). In updating the information, note has been taken of new and emerging sports that were not included in the 2006 guide or BS EN 12193 but which are played in the UK, and of proposed amendments to BS EN 12193. This guide is based only on the use of light-emitting diode (LED) light sources.
The sport requirements and recommendations give specific information relating to good lighting practice for each individual sport. Tabulated lighting parameters are provided for each sports application relative to the new system of lighting classes. The addendum issued in 2015 relating to the lighting requirements for broadcasting has been included and updated.
CIBSE, the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers, acts as a professional body for lighting in the UK and produces a series of guides giving optimum lighting requirements for a wide range of environments. The following table, compiled from information found in CIBSE's Society of Light and Lighting and other relevant publications, aims to give recommended light levels for commonly found conditions. These are recommendations only; careful consideration must go into every unique area.

The office environment has changed considerably since the previous version of this lighting guide, LG7 Office lighting, was published in 2005. While the fixed desk remains a central part of office life, tablet and touchscreen computers are now commonplace and allow those occupying office space to move around, effectively carrying their workspace to wherever they need to be or feel comfortable working.
The need to accommodate this flexibility has brought significant challenges to lighting designers used to dealing with fixed scenarios. This guide now considers how to light office space for flexible use where tablets, smartphones and touchscreen computers are being used.
Energy reduction in the built environment is a continuing challenge and the lighting within offices is a major contributor to the energy demands of a building. Careful selection of luminaires and light sources along with appropriate controls can reduce energy demand. However, designers and installers can make a significant impact by talking to the people who will use the office at a very early stage of the design. By understanding their needs and work profiles, a more tailored approach can be considered which delivers the lighting they need using the minimum energy.
