LED lighting upgrades in Allington
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Allington and Dorset. Where ceilings in Allington 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 Allington
In Allington 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.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Allington now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Our teams travel to Allington from across Dorset. Typical nearby jobs include Beaminster, Lyme Regis and Crewkerne, so we can often combine survey visits.

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.
