In Ilford warehouses and workshops the biggest savings come from swapping metal halide high bays for LED, where a 400 W lamp plus gear can often be replaced by a fitting drawing 150 W or less.
For an LED upgrade in Ilford 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 Ilford, including the IG1, E12 and IG2 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Manor Park, Barking and Leytonstone.
