LED lighting upgrades in Plympton
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. An LED upgrade in Plympton is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Plympton
Most Plympton 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 Plympton bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
We cover the whole of Plympton, including the PL7, PL9 and PL3 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Plymstock, Yealmpton and Plymouth.
