LED lighting upgrades in Anstruther
What we do in Anstruther: 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 Anstruther now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Anstruther
For an LED upgrade in Anstruther 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 Anstruther 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.
For Anstruther premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Do you remove the old fittings in Anstruther?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
