We offer CIBSE accredited CPD seminars, available face to face or online. Topics include robust lighting, emergency lighting for challenging environments, lighting: the retrofit revolution, light that changes lives for secure healthcare environments and sustainable lighting for railway stations of the future.

CPD Seminar – Sustainable Lighting For Railway Stations Of The Future

Great British Railways (GBR) will be replacing Network Rail, the UK rail industry is focusing on sustainable lighting for the railway stations of the future.

This CIBSE accredited CPD seminar looks at how this will be achieved through the rail industry’s 4S framework: Sustainability, satisfaction (customer), safety and stewardship. We will look at what GBR considers a sustainable luminaire, the circular economy and sustainable product design. How manufacturers can aid safety measures and improve customer satisfaction will be examined and stewardship measures explained. The CPD will conclude with some rail lighting best practice advice.

CPD Seminar – Emergency Lighting For Challenging Environments: Updated for BS 5266 1:2025

This CIBSE accredited CPD explains why emergency lighting is essential, who is responsible under UK fire safety law, and how to design, verify and maintain compliant systems in demanding environments.

We examine BS 5266-1-2025, including its expanded scope covering escape routes, local area and standby lighting. We highlight the strengthened requirement for testing, documentation and 5- year photometric verification, along with wiring resilience measures such as two independent circuits for high-risk areas.

Participants will learn application definitions, signage requirements, points of emphasis, and the latest performance criteria for escape routes and open areas. We also cover battery technologies, automatic testing solutions (Self Test/DALI) and how to design for maintainability. The session concludes with practical examples of emergency lighting requirements across social housing, custodial, secure healthcare and rail applications.

CPD Seminar – Lighting: The Retrofit Revolution

This CIBSE accredited CPD seminar examines the benefits and challenges of retrofitting luminaires with the latest LED technology. We will explore current opportunities, the case for energy and maintenance, as well as the regulatory framework and CE compliance. We also discuss the risks of VOC’s and poor thermal management when considering LED light sources.

CPD Seminar – Robust Lighting

This CIBSE accredited CPD seminar looks at how challenging environments are illuminated. We examine vandal resistance, adverse weather conditions, product construction, LED lighting, and sustainable product design.

Product standards are explained, including IK (BS EN 62262) and IP (BS EN60529) ratings. We identify the manufacturing processes used to ensure luminaire durability.

Finally, we will look at some challenging applications in detail. We focus on transport, community and public, custodial and secure healthcare.

Light That Changes Lives in Secure Healthcare Environments

Lighting plays a critical role in secure healthcare environments, influencing not only visual performance but also wellbeing, safety, recovery and operational resilience.

This CIBSE accredited CPD explores how thoughtful lighting design can support circadian rhythms, improve mood and behaviour, and contribute to safer, calmer environments for both service users and staff. It examines the balance between therapeutic needs and the stringent safety requirements of secure health settings, including ligature resistance.

The session provides an overview of key considerations such as luminaire design, maintenance strategies, relevant standards, testing guidance and the need for a sustainable long-life design. The CPD concludes with a discussion of several real‑world applications.
