Local LED lighting upgrades in March
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in March now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in March bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
March is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode district PE15. We regularly work across Cambridgeshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

What's included
- A walk-round survey counting fittings, wattages, running hours and ceiling types
- Complete LED luminaires rather than tube swaps, so old control gear is removed
- Like-for-like or re-planned layouts so light levels meet BS EN 12464-1
- Optional presence and daylight sensors to cut running hours further

Rules that apply in March
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.
March FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you remove the old fittings in March?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover all of March?
Yes. We work across March and the PE15 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Chatteris, Emneth and Primrose Place.
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.
