LED lighting upgrades in Penicuik
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Penicuik and Edinburgh and the Lothians. Where ceilings in Penicuik offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.

For an LED upgrade in Penicuik 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.
Penicuik is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts EH26, EH25 and EH24. We regularly work across Edinburgh and the Lothians, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Penicuik
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.
Penicuik FAQs
Who does the work in Penicuik?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
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.
Do you cover all of Penicuik?
Yes. We work across Penicuik and the EH26, EH25 and EH24 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Roslin, Rosewell and Loanhead.
Do you just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
