LED lighting upgrades in Huntingdon
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Huntingdon and Cambridgeshire. Where ceilings in Huntingdon 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 Huntingdon
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Huntingdon now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
For an LED upgrade in Huntingdon 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.
Huntingdon sits within Cambridgeshire. We work throughout the PE29 and PE28 postcode districts and surrounding places, including The Stukeleys, Saint Ives and St Neots.

Rules that apply in Huntingdon
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.
Huntingdon FAQs
Who does the work in Huntingdon?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
Can you work out of hours in Huntingdon?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Huntingdon offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Huntingdon?
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.
Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
