LED lighting upgrades in Kirknewton
What we do in Kirknewton: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Kirknewton now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.

Kirknewton FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Kirknewton?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Kirknewton offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you cover all of Kirknewton?
Yes. We work across Kirknewton and the EH27, EH53 and EH28 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Newbridge and Ratho, Broxburn and Livingston.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Kirknewton?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
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.
