LED lighting upgrades in Royston
What we do in Royston: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Royston bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Royston
We quote Royston 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.
In Royston 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.
Our teams travel to Royston from across Cambridgeshire. Typical nearby jobs include Bygrave, Buntingford and Little Shelford, so we can often combine survey visits.
