LED lighting upgrades in Luton
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Luton 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Luton
An LED upgrade in Luton is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Where ceilings in Luton offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
We cover the whole of Luton, including the LU1, LU2 and LU3 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Dunstable, Thorn and Harpenden.

Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.
