LED lighting upgrades in Gloucestershire
A commercial LED lighting upgrade replaces old fluorescent, halogen, metal halide or sodium fittings with complete LED luminaires, usually on the existing circuits. We cover Gloucestershire, including Gloucester, Cheltenham and Stroud.
LED lighting upgrades work in Gloucestershire
In Gloucestershire 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.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Gloucestershire bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
What's included
- Complete LED luminaires rather than tube swaps, so old control gear is removed
- Like-for-like or re-planned layouts so light levels meet BS EN 12464-1
- Optional presence and daylight sensors to cut running hours further
- Testing and a BS 7671 certificate for the work, with a schedule of what was fitted

Rules that apply in Gloucestershire
Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.
In Great Britain, 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.
Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
