Local LED lighting upgrades in Port Askaig
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Port Askaig now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
For an LED upgrade in Port Askaig 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.
Our teams travel to Port Askaig from across Argyll and Bute. Typical nearby jobs include Ballygrant, Bowmore and Port Charlotte, so we can often combine survey visits.
We cover Port Askaig 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.
