LED lighting upgrades in Bunessan
What we do in Bunessan: 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 Bunessan now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Bunessan
In Bunessan 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.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Bunessan bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Bunessan is a smaller town, covered by postcode district PA67. We regularly work across Argyll and Bute, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Bunessan by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in Argyll and Bute, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.

Bunessan FAQs
Who does the work in Bunessan?
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.
Do you remove the old fittings in Bunessan?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How quickly can you survey in Bunessan?
Most surveys in Bunessan can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
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.
