LED lighting upgrades in Sedgefield
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Sedgefield 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Sedgefield
Where ceilings in Sedgefield offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
In Sedgefield 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.
Our teams travel to Sedgefield from across County Durham. Typical nearby jobs include Trindon, Trimdon and Stockton-on-Tees, so we can often combine survey visits.
