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 – Light That Changes Lives in Secure Healthcare Environments
CPD Seminar – Sustainable Lighting For Railway Stations Of The Future
This CPD outlines the latest sustainable lighting requirements for the UK rail network, driven by the transition to Great British Railways (GBR) and the forthcoming update of RSSB standard RIS‑7702. It shows how evolving user‑focused design and strengthened sustainability targets are reshaping lighting across stations and platforms.
The session explores GBR’s “4S” framework, Sustainability, Satisfaction, Safety and Stewardship—and how these principles guide lighting strategy, product selection and whole‑life performance. Key topics include circular‑economy luminaire design, reducing embodied carbon, achieving a 30‑year design life, glare control and improving operational safety.
The CPD concludes with best‑practice guidance for delivering inclusive, safe and sustainable station environments aligned with GBR’s expectations.
CPD Seminar – Robust Lighting
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.
