LED lighting upgrades in County Antrim
A commercial LED lighting upgrade replaces old fluorescent, halogen, metal halide or sodium fittings with complete LED luminaires, usually on the existing circuits. We cover County Antrim, including Belfast, Lisburn and Newtownabbey.
LED lighting upgrades work in County Antrim
An LED upgrade in County Antrim is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in County Antrim now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
What's included
- Like-for-like or re-planned layouts so light levels meet BS EN 12464-1
- Safe removal and recycling of old fluorescent tubes as hazardous waste
- Optional presence and daylight sensors to cut running hours further
- A walk-round survey counting fittings, wattages, running hours and ceiling types

Technical Booklet F2 (June 2022) and its non-domestic guidance set Northern Ireland's own lighting efficacy figures, which differ from England's, so we design to the NI figures.
Northern Ireland followed the EU timetable, with ordinary T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes phased out from August 2023.

LED lighting upgrades FAQs for County Antrim
How are prices set in County Antrim?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
What energy rules apply to new lighting in County Antrim?
Technical Booklet F2 sets the efficiency that new lighting in County Antrim must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Can the upgrade be claimed against tax?
Many businesses can claim capital allowances on lighting, for example through the Annual Investment Allowance. Lighting in a building is usually treated as an integral feature, so ask your accountant how it applies to you.
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.
