LED lighting upgrades in Croft
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Croft 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.

An LED upgrade in Croft is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Where ceilings in Croft offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Our teams travel to Croft from across Cheshire. Typical nearby jobs include Newton-le-Willows, Golborne and Leigh, so we can often combine survey visits.
