LED lighting upgrades in Antrim
What we do in Antrim: 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 Antrim now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Antrim
Where ceilings in Antrim offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
An LED upgrade in Antrim is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Antrim sits within County Antrim. We work throughout the BT41 postcode district and surrounding places, including Randalstown, Crumlin and Ballyclare.

Rules that apply in Antrim
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.
Antrim FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Can you work out of hours in Antrim?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Antrim offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you remove the old fittings in Antrim?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
