LED lighting upgrades in Littledean
What we do in Littledean: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Littledean bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Littledean
Most Littledean 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.
An LED upgrade in Littledean is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
For Littledean premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
