LED lighting upgrades in Newquay
What we do in Newquay: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Newquay now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Newquay
In Newquay 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.
An LED upgrade in Newquay is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Newquay is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts TR7 and TR8. We regularly work across Cornwall, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Newquay
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.
Newquay FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Newquay?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can you work out of hours in Newquay?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Newquay offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you cover all of Newquay?
Yes. We work across Newquay and the TR7 and TR8 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Colan, St Columb Major and Perranporth.
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.
