LED lighting upgrades in Marlow
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Marlow and Buckinghamshire. Where ceilings in Marlow offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Marlow
For an LED upgrade in Marlow 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.
We quote Marlow 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.
Marlow is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts SL7, SL8 and SL6. We regularly work across Buckinghamshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Marlow
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.
Marlow FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Marlow?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Marlow?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Can you work out of hours in Marlow?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Marlow offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
