LED lighting upgrades in Blackheath
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Blackheath 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.
