LED lighting upgrades in Queensferry
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Queensferry and Edinburgh and the Lothians. Where ceilings in Queensferry 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 Queensferry
For an LED upgrade in Queensferry 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.
In Queensferry 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.
Our teams travel to Queensferry from across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Typical nearby jobs include Kirkliston, Inverkeithing and Newbridge and Ratho, so we can often combine survey visits.

Rules that apply in Queensferry
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.
