LED lighting upgrades in Ottery St Mary
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Ottery St Mary and Devon. Where ceilings in Ottery St Mary offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Ottery St Mary
For an LED upgrade in Ottery St Mary we start by counting fittings and running hours, because payback depends far more on how long lights are on than on the price of the fittings.
Most Ottery St Mary 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.
We cover the whole of Ottery St Mary, including the EX11 and EX10 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Sidmouth, Honiton and Broad Clyst.

Rules that apply in Ottery St Mary
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.
