Lighting & Emergency Lighting

R.D. Jukes – Part of Ventro provides comprehensive lighting and emergency lighting services, supporting organisations with the design, installation, upgrade, testing and ongoing maintenance of systems across complex buildings and estates.

Our experience covers internal and external lighting, emergency lighting and energy-efficient LED solutions across healthcare, education, commercial, public sector and industrial environments. We can deliver new installations alongside the upgrade and retrofit of existing systems, helping clients improve performance, energy efficiency and compliance while minimising disruption to their buildings.

Lighting control systems can also be incorporated to improve efficiency through presence, absence and daylight dimming, alongside automatic emergency lighting testing and reporting systems that simplify ongoing monitoring and compliance.

Lighting Designed Around Your Building

Effective lighting needs to consider much more than the luminaires themselves. Building use, occupancy, emergency escape routes, existing electrical infrastructure, energy consumption and ongoing maintenance requirements all influence the right solution.

Our team assesses these requirements as part of the design process, developing lighting solutions suited to the building and the people who use it. This can include replacing ageing fluorescent installations with modern LED technology, upgrading emergency lighting provision or delivering complete lighting installations as part of wider electrical works.

Working in Live & Operational Environments

Lighting and emergency lighting works are often required within buildings that need to remain operational throughout a project. R.D. Jukes has extensive experience delivering works within live healthcare, education, commercial and public sector environments where disruption needs to be carefully controlled.

We work closely with clients, facilities teams and other contractors to plan works around building users and operational requirements. Installations can be phased or completed outside normal operating hours where appropriate, helping essential areas remain accessible while works progress safely.

From Design to Completion

R.D. Jukes can manage the complete lighting and emergency lighting process, from initial assessment and design through to installation, testing, commissioning and final handover.

We begin by understanding the building, existing installation, intended use and any specific operational or compliance requirements. Our teams then coordinate the installation or upgrade programme before testing and commissioning the completed system. Relevant certification and handover information is provided on completion, with ongoing inspection, testing and maintenance available to support continued performance and compliance.

Who is this service for?

Our lighting and emergency lighting services support organisations responsible for maintaining safe, efficient and compliant buildings across individual sites and large estates.

We work with NHS and healthcare providers, universities and education estates, local authorities, large landlords, commercial organisations, facilities management providers and operators of industrial environments.

Whether you are replacing ageing lighting, improving energy efficiency, addressing emergency lighting deficiencies or planning a wider electrical refurbishment programme, R.D. Jukes can provide a solution tailored to the requirements of your building or estate.

Yes. R.D. Jukes can provide emergency lighting testing and ongoing maintenance, helping organisations manage their inspection and testing requirements across individual buildings or larger estates.

Can you install automatic emergency lighting testing systems?

 Yes. Automatic testing and reporting can be incorporated into emergency lighting systems, reducing reliance on manual processes and providing facilities teams with improved visibility of system performance.

Can you work in occupied buildings?

 Yes. We regularly deliver electrical works within live and operational environments, including hospitals, universities and commercial buildings. Works can be phased and planned around building users to minimise disruption.

Can you manage lighting projects from design through to completion?

 Yes. Our team can manage the complete process, including assessment, design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning and handover, providing clients with a single specialist contractor throughout the project.
