LED lighting upgrades in Newhaven
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Newhaven and East Sussex. Where ceilings in Newhaven offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Newhaven
Most Newhaven 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.
We quote Newhaven 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.
We cover the whole of Newhaven, including the BN9, BN10 and BN25 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Peacehaven, Seaford and Rottingdean.

Rules that apply in Newhaven
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.

Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.

A typical 400 m² office with around 40 fittings is often a one- or two-day job. Larger sites are phased zone by zone, and we can work evenings or weekends.
