LED lighting upgrades in Ballymena
What we do in Ballymena: 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 Ballymena now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Ballymena
For an LED upgrade in Ballymena we start by counting fittings and running hours, because payback depends far more on how long lights are on than on the price of the fittings.
Where ceilings in Ballymena offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Our teams travel to Ballymena from across County Antrim. Typical nearby jobs include Randalstown, Antrim and Ballyclare, so we can often combine survey visits.

Rules that apply in Ballymena
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.
