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

Rules that apply in Croydon
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.
Croydon FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Croydon?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Croydon offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Croydon?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you cover all of Croydon?
Yes. We work across Croydon and the CR7, CR0 and CR9 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as South Croydon, South Norwood and Upper Norwood.
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.
