LED lighting upgrades in Woodley
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Woodley and Berkshire. In Woodley 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Woodley
Where ceilings in Woodley offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
An LED upgrade in Woodley is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
We cover the whole of Woodley, including the RG5, RG6 and RG10 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Lower Earley, Twyford and Reading.

Rules that apply in Woodley
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.
In Great Britain, 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.
Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
