LED lighting upgrades in Highbury
What we do in Highbury: 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 Highbury now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Highbury
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Highbury bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
For an LED upgrade in Highbury 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.
We cover the whole of Highbury, including the N5, N7 and N1 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Islington, Holloway and Stamford Hill.
