LED lighting upgrades in Dunoon
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Dunoon businesses we survey still have a mix of T8 battens, 600×600 fluorescent panels and the odd halogen downlight. Replacing them with complete LED luminaires usually cuts lighting energy by a third to a half.

Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Dunoon bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Where ceilings in Dunoon offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
For Dunoon premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
We cover Dunoon 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.

Dunoon FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Dunoon?
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.
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 Dunoon?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Dunoon offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Can the upgrade be claimed against tax?
Many businesses can claim capital allowances on lighting, for example through the Annual Investment Allowance. Lighting in a building is usually treated as an integral feature, so ask your accountant how it applies to you.
