LED lighting upgrades in Chelsea
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. We quote Chelsea LED upgrades as a fixed price with a fitting schedule, so you can see exactly what is being replaced, where, and what it should save.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Chelsea
Where ceilings in Chelsea offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Chelsea bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
We cover the whole of Chelsea, including the SW3, SW10 and SW7 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Battersea, Queenstown and Latchmere.

Rules that apply in Chelsea
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.
