LED lighting upgrades in Loanhead
What we do in Loanhead: 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 Loanhead now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.

An LED upgrade in Loanhead is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
In Loanhead 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.
For Loanhead premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
