LED lighting upgrades in Salcombe
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Salcombe and Devon. Where ceilings in Salcombe 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 Salcombe
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Salcombe now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
An LED upgrade in Salcombe is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
We cover the whole of Salcombe, including the TQ8 and TQ7 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Kingsbridge, Dartmouth and Ivybridge.

Rules that apply in Salcombe
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.
