LED lighting upgrades in Coleford
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. An LED upgrade in Coleford is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Coleford
Where ceilings in Coleford offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Most Coleford 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.
Our teams travel to Coleford from across Gloucestershire. Typical nearby jobs include Monmouth, Lydney and Littledean, so we can often combine survey visits.
