LED lighting upgrades in Alloa
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Alloa 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.

An LED upgrade in Alloa is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Alloa now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Alloa is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts FK10, FK12 and FK13. We regularly work across Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannanshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Alloa
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.
Alloa FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Alloa?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Alloa offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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 cover all of Alloa?
Yes. We work across Alloa and the FK10, FK12 and FK13 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Alva, Tillicoultry and Menstrie.
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.
