Local LED lighting upgrades in Belfast
For an LED upgrade in Belfast 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.
An LED upgrade in Belfast is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Belfast is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts BT1, BT2 and BT7. We regularly work across County Antrim, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Belfast
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.
Northern Ireland has its own EPC framework rather than the England and Wales EPC E letting rule.
Belfast 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.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Belfast?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. For new lighting, Technical Booklet F2 sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Who does the work in Belfast?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
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.
