What does it take to light a historic church while respecting its surroundings? 💡

At St Martha-on-the-Hill, Chilworth, the answer was simple: minimal fittings, minimal electrical consumption, minimal impact.

A beautiful example of how thoughtful lighting design can enhance a historic building while preserving the character of its setting.

This video offers a glimpse of how great heritage lighting is about more than the impact after dark, it’s about enhancing a historic building while respecting its character and setting.

The way we work has changed a lot since COVID, but there’s still something good about working together in the same room.

During COVID, our designers moved into garden offices, and today they continue to work remotely while collaborating closely as a team.

We’ve kept our office too, where Steve, our Support Manager, and Dave, our Accounts Manager, are based, with our lighting demonstration kits stored in the loft above!

Those who work with CES regularly will probably know Steve and Dave already, so it’s good to put some faces to the names.

Whether we’re working from home, in the office or out on site, our purpose remains the same: helping historic buildings with their electrical and lighting needs.

Sometimes, the right light fitting simply doesn’t exist. Especially when working within the character, scale and constraints of heritage and listed buildings.

That’s when we design and make our own.

For more than 30 years CES Lighting & Electrical Specialists has been creating bespoke light fittings for heritage projects across the UK, combining careful research, craftsmanship and practical lighting design to create fittings that feel as though they have always belonged. It’s still one of the aspects of our work we love most.

From traditional chandeliers and pendants to completely bespoke designs, each fitting is developed to complement the architecture, respect its history and provide the right light for the space.

Here are just a few of our favourites from the past three decades and the best part?

They’re still proudly providing light today 😀 💡

St Mary’s Islington presented a real challenge for mounting modern light fittings—can you spot the spotlight in the window?

Recessed ceiling boxes and bespoke window-mounted poles discreetly house the spotlights and cabling, all programmed for bright or subdued scenes at the touch of a button.

We love finding creative solutions that protect historic fabric while delivering a great lighting outcome.

A closer look at the chandeliers at St George the Martyr, Hanover Square. ✨

These beautiful chandeliers are a great example of how carefully considered lighting can enhance a historic interior while respecting the character and heritage of the space.

Our CES Lighting & Electrical Specialists team worked closely with the client and architects to develop the lighting design, select the right products and create an atmosphere that works beautifully within this remarkable church.

A great project, a fantastic team and some rather impressive chandeliers!

A recent project at the beautiful All Saints Church, Biddenden.

Dating largely from the 13th century, this historic church is full of character and craftsmanship, with beautiful details like this traditional chandelier adding warmth and atmosphere to the space.

Our CES Lighting & Electrical Specialists team delivered a lighting scheme designed to complement the historic character of the church, enhancing the architecture and creating a warm, welcoming environment while respecting its heritage.

Another great example of how carefully considered lighting can bring new life to historic spaces without taking away from what makes them special.

Have you ever taken a virtual tour to experience a church lighting project? 👀

Now you can.

Step inside the Grade I listed St Mildred’s Church in Tenterden and explore the lighting scheme designed by our CES Lighting & Electrical Specialists team. The interactive 360° tour lets you move through the church, viewing the project from every angle and switching between bright and subdued lighting scenes to see how carefully considered lighting enhances both the architecture and the atmosphere.

It’s one thing to see the finished photographs, it’s another to experience the project as though you’re standing in the space.

We’d love to know what you think.

We’re pleased to share the completion of the new lighting scheme at the Grade I listed St Mildred’s Church in Tenterden.

This project required a sensitive approach to enhance the church’s architectural features while respecting its rich heritage and historic significance.

A key aspect of the scheme was the development of bespoke pendant luminaires, created through close collaboration between Great British Lighting, CES Lighting & Electrical Specialists, the client team, and the church architect. The result is a carefully considered lighting solution that supports both the character and functionality of this remarkable building.

It has been a privilege to contribute to the ongoing preservation and enhancement of such an important heritage asset.

From gas boilers to heating chandeliers! ✨

A fantastic recently completed project at St Anne’s Church, Hoxton, where we partnered with Roger Mears Architects , Fullers Builders and Heat Outdoors to install Shaddow Heating’s innovative heating chandelier system.

These elegant electric heating chandeliers are becoming an increasingly popular solution for historic buildings looking to phase out traditional gas heating while preserving their architectural beauty.

Watching these impressive fixtures being carefully lifted into position beneath the church’s historic roof was incredible. The finished result delivers comfortable, efficient heating while complementing the character of this remarkable building.

A brilliant example of heritage and innovation working together. 🙌

“CES listened, understood our context and constraints, and adapted throughout the project.”

Feedback like this means everything.

Great client relationships aren’t built on delivering a service alone. They’re built on listening, understanding challenges, and finding solutions that work in the real world.

Every project is different, but our approach stays the same: put the client first, stay responsive, and work together to achieve the best outcome.

When you take the time to understand what matters most to your clients, better results follow.
