What we do in Padstow: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Padstow bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Padstow
In Padstow 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.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Padstow now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Our teams travel to Padstow from across Cornwall. Typical nearby jobs include St Breock, St Endellion and St Columb Major, so we can often combine survey visits.
