LED lighting upgrades in Huntly
What we do in Huntly: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Huntly now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Huntly
For an LED upgrade in Huntly we start by counting fittings and running hours, because payback depends far more on how long lights are on than on the price of the fittings.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Huntly bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Huntly is a local centre, covered by postcode district AB54. We regularly work across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Huntly FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Who does the work in Huntly?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Huntly?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
