LED lighting upgrades in Walton-on-the-Naze
What we do in Walton-on-the-Naze: 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 Walton-on-the-Naze now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
