LED lighting upgrades in Fife
A commercial LED lighting upgrade replaces old fluorescent, halogen, metal halide or sodium fittings with complete LED luminaires, usually on the existing circuits. We cover Fife, including Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes.
LED lighting upgrades work in Fife
Most Fife 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.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Fife bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
What's included
- Safe removal and recycling of old fluorescent tubes as hazardous waste
- Complete LED luminaires rather than tube swaps, so old control gear is removed
- Testing and a BS 7671 certificate for the work, with a schedule of what was fitted
- Like-for-like or re-planned layouts so light levels meet BS EN 12464-1

LED lighting upgrades FAQs for Fife
How are prices set in Fife?

Which towns in Fife do you cover?
All of Fife, including Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
What does an LED upgrade cost?
As a budget, LED panels run at about £50–£150 per fitting supplied and installed, battens £80–£200 and high bays £150–£400, excluding VAT. Access equipment, rewiring and controls are extra.
