LED lighting upgrades in Tewkesbury
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Tewkesbury 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Tewkesbury
For an LED upgrade in Tewkesbury 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.
In Tewkesbury 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.
Tewkesbury sits within Gloucestershire. We work throughout the GL20 postcode district and surrounding places, including Ashleworth, Cheltenham and Hucclecote.

Tewkesbury FAQs
Do you cover all of Tewkesbury?
Yes. We work across Tewkesbury and the GL20 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Ashleworth, Cheltenham and Hucclecote.
How quickly can you survey in Tewkesbury?
Most surveys in Tewkesbury can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
