Local LED lighting upgrades in Gosforth
Most Gosforth businesses we survey still have a mix of T8 battens, 600×600 fluorescent panels and the odd halogen downlight. Replacing them with complete LED luminaires usually cuts lighting energy by a third to a half.
Where ceilings in Gosforth 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 Gosforth, including the CA20, CA21 and CA19 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Beckermet, Muncaster and Egremont.
