LED lighting upgrades in Cambridge
What we do in Cambridge: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Cambridge bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Cambridge
In Cambridge 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.
Where ceilings in Cambridge 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 Cambridge, including the CB2, CB4 and CB1 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Great Shelford, Impington and Fulbourn.
