LED lighting upgrades in Falmouth
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Falmouth 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Falmouth
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Falmouth now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Where ceilings in Falmouth offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Falmouth is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts TR11 and TR10. We regularly work across Cornwall, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Falmouth
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.
Falmouth FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Falmouth?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Falmouth offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you remove the old fittings in Falmouth?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How quickly can you survey in Falmouth?
Most surveys in Falmouth can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
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.
