LED lighting upgrades in Humbie
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. We quote Humbie 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Humbie
An LED upgrade in Humbie is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Most Humbie 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.
Humbie sits within Edinburgh and the Lothians. We work throughout the EH36, EH34 and EH37 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Pencaitland, Pathhead and Ormiston.

Rules that apply in Humbie
Standard 6.5 of the Scottish building standards covers efficient, controllable lighting. The non-domestic guidance uses 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt for general lighting, or LENI.
In Great Britain, including Scotland, 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.
Scotland does not use the England and Wales EPC E letting rule. Instead, some non-domestic buildings over 1,000 m² need an action plan when sold or let, under Section 63 regulations.
Humbie FAQs
Do you cover all of Humbie?
Yes. We work across Humbie and the EH36, EH34 and EH37 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Pencaitland, Pathhead and Ormiston.
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.
Can you work out of hours in Humbie?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Humbie offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
