Local LED lighting upgrades in St Andrews
For an LED upgrade in St Andrews 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.
Where ceilings in St Andrews offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
For St Andrews premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
