LED lighting upgrades in Greenwich
What we do in Greenwich: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Greenwich now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Greenwich
Most Greenwich 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.
For an LED upgrade in Greenwich 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.
Our teams travel to Greenwich from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include New Cross, Blackheath and Brockley, so we can often combine survey visits.
