LED lighting upgrades in Aberystwyth
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Aberystwyth and Dyfed. In Aberystwyth 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Aberystwyth
We quote Aberystwyth LED upgrades as a fixed price with a fitting schedule, so you can see exactly what is being replaced, where, and what it should save.
Most Aberystwyth 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.
Aberystwyth sits within Dyfed. We work throughout the SY23 postcode district and surrounding places, including Llanfarian, Geneur Glyn and Aberdovey.

Rules that apply in Aberystwyth
The Welsh Approved Document L Volume 2 (2022) uses 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt for general lighting, with alternatives such as LENI. A new Welsh edition takes effect from 4 March 2027 with a higher figure of more than 105.
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 Wales generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
Aberystwyth FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Aberystwyth?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you cover all of Aberystwyth?
Yes. We work across Aberystwyth and the SY23 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Llanfarian, Geneur Glyn and Aberdovey.
Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
