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

Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Glasgow bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
An LED upgrade in Glasgow is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.

Rules that apply in Glasgow
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.
