LED lighting upgrades in Millom
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Millom 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 Millom from across Cumbria. Typical nearby jobs include Ireleth, Kirkby Ireleth and Dalton Town with Newton, so we can often combine survey visits.
