LED lighting upgrades in East Sussex
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 East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings.
LED lighting upgrades work in East Sussex
We quote East Sussex 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.
Where ceilings in East Sussex offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
What's included
- Complete LED luminaires rather than tube swaps, so old control gear is removed
- Optional presence and daylight sensors to cut running hours further
- 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
