LED lighting upgrades FAQs for Dumfries and Galloway
How are prices set in Dumfries and Galloway?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
Which towns in Dumfries and Galloway do you cover?
All of Dumfries and Galloway, including Dumfries, Annan and Castle Douglas. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
Do you just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
Can the upgrade be claimed against tax?
Many businesses can claim capital allowances on lighting, for example through the Annual Investment Allowance. Lighting in a building is usually treated as an integral feature, so ask your accountant how it applies to you.
