LED lighting upgrades in Ireleth
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Ireleth and Cumbria. In Ireleth 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Ireleth
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Ireleth bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Most Ireleth 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.
Our teams travel to Ireleth from across Cumbria. Typical nearby jobs include Dalton Town with Newton, Millom and Kirkby Ireleth, so we can often combine survey visits.

Rules that apply in Ireleth
Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.
In Great Britain, common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by ecodesign rules from 1 September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended on 1 February 2024.
Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
