LED lighting upgrades in Bournemouth
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. An LED upgrade in Bournemouth 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 Bournemouth
Most Bournemouth 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.
In Bournemouth 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.
Our teams travel to Bournemouth from across Dorset. Typical nearby jobs include Christchurch, Poole and Ferndown, so we can often combine survey visits.
