LED lighting upgrades in Ayrshire
A commercial LED lighting upgrade replaces old fluorescent, halogen, metal halide or sodium fittings with complete LED luminaires, usually on the existing circuits. We cover Ayrshire, including Kilmarnock, Ayr and Irvine.
LED lighting upgrades work in Ayrshire
We quote Ayrshire 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.
In Ayrshire 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.
What's included
- A walk-round survey counting fittings, wattages, running hours and ceiling types
- Complete LED luminaires rather than tube swaps, so old control gear is removed
- Safe removal and recycling of old fluorescent tubes as hazardous waste
- Optional presence and daylight sensors to cut running hours further

Rules that apply in Ayrshire
Standard 6.5 of the Scottish building standards covers efficient, controllable lighting. The non-domestic guidance uses 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt for general lighting, or LENI.
In Great Britain, including Scotland, common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by ecodesign rules from 1 September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended on 1 February 2024.
Scotland does not use the England and Wales EPC E letting rule. Instead, some non-domestic buildings over 1,000 m² need an action plan when sold or let, under Section 63 regulations.
