LED lighting upgrades in New Malden
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most New Malden 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in New Malden
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in New Malden now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
In New Malden 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 New Malden premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
