LED lighting upgrades in Lewes
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Lewes and East Sussex. In Lewes 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 Lewes
For an LED upgrade in Lewes we start by counting fittings and running hours, because payback depends far more on how long lights are on than on the price of the fittings.
An LED upgrade in Lewes is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Lewes sits within East Sussex. We work throughout the BN7 and BN8 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Ringmer, Rottingdean and Peacehaven.

Rules that apply in Lewes
Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.
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 England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
Lewes FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Lewes?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How quickly can you survey in Lewes?
Most surveys in Lewes can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
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.
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.
