LED lighting upgrades in Dundee and Angus
A commercial LED lighting upgrade replaces old fluorescent, halogen, metal halide or sodium fittings with complete LED luminaires, usually on the existing circuits. We cover Dundee and Angus, including Dundee, Arbroath and Brechin.
LED lighting upgrades work in Dundee and Angus
Most Dundee and Angus 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 Dundee and Angus bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
What's included
- Testing and a BS 7671 certificate for the work, with a schedule of what was fitted
- Safe removal and recycling of old fluorescent tubes as hazardous waste
- Optional presence and daylight sensors to cut running hours further
- Complete LED luminaires rather than tube swaps, so old control gear is removed

LED lighting upgrades FAQs for Dundee and Angus
How are prices set in Dundee and Angus?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Dundee and Angus?
Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the efficiency that new lighting in Dundee and Angus must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
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.
