Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Rame bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
In Rame 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.
Rame sits within Cornwall. We work throughout the PL10, PL11 and PL1 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Antony, Plymouth and Saltash.

Rame FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Rame?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover all of Rame?
Yes. We work across Rame and the PL10, PL11 and PL1 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Antony, Plymouth and Saltash.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Rame?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
