LED lighting upgrades in Dartmouth
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Dartmouth 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.

Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Dartmouth bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
In Dartmouth 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.
Dartmouth is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts TQ6 and TQ5. We regularly work across Devon, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Dartmouth FAQs
Do you cover all of Dartmouth?
Yes. We work across Dartmouth and the TQ6 and TQ5 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Brixham, Paignton and Totnes.
How quickly can you survey in Dartmouth?
Most surveys in Dartmouth can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
