LED lighting upgrades in Peterhead
What we do in Peterhead: 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 Peterhead now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.

An LED upgrade in Peterhead is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
We quote Peterhead LED upgrades as a fixed price with a fitting schedule, so you can see exactly what is being replaced, where, and what it should save.
Peterhead is a substantial town, covered by postcode district AB42. We regularly work across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Peterhead FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Peterhead?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
Can you work out of hours in Peterhead?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Peterhead offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
