LED lighting upgrades in Cotherstone
What we do in Cotherstone: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Cotherstone bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Cotherstone
In Cotherstone 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.
Where ceilings in Cotherstone offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
We cover the whole of Cotherstone, including the DL12 postcode district, and nearby places such as Stanhope, Marske and Lcp Stanhope and Wolsingham Parishes And.
