LED lighting upgrades in Roslin
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Roslin 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Roslin
Most Roslin 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.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Roslin now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Roslin is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts EH25, EH20 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 Roslin
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.
Roslin FAQs
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 remove the old fittings in Roslin?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover all of Roslin?
Yes. We work across Roslin and the EH25, EH20 and EH24 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Loanhead, Rosewell and Penicuik.
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.
