LED lighting upgrades in Bo'ness
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Bo'ness 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Bo'ness
Most Bo'ness 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.
In Bo'ness 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.
Our teams travel to Bo'ness from across Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannanshire. Typical nearby jobs include Linlithgow, Polmont and Grangemouth, so we can often combine survey visits.

Rules that apply in Bo'ness
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.
