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