LED lighting upgrades in Insch
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Insch and Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. In Insch warehouses and workshops the biggest savings come from swapping metal halide high bays for LED, where a 400 W lamp plus gear can often be replaced by a fitting drawing 150 W or less.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Insch
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Insch now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Insch bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
We cover the whole of Insch, including the AB52 postcode district, and nearby places such as Inverurie, Alford and Huntly.

Rules that apply in Insch
Standard 6.5 of the Scottish building standards covers efficient, controllable lighting. The non-domestic guidance uses 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt for general lighting, or LENI.
In Great Britain, including Scotland, common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by ecodesign rules from 1 September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended on 1 February 2024.
Scotland does not use the England and Wales EPC E letting rule. Instead, some non-domestic buildings over 1,000 m² need an action plan when sold or let, under Section 63 regulations.
