LED lighting upgrades in Derby
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Derby 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Derby
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Derby bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
In Derby 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.
We cover the whole of Derby, including the DE1, DE22 and DE23 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Mickleover, Sinfin and Draycott.
