LED lighting upgrades in Hove
What we do in Hove: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Hove bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Hove
In Hove 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.
Where ceilings in Hove offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
We cover the whole of Hove, including the BN3, BN1 and BN41 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Brighton, Portslade and Newtimber.
