Local LED lighting upgrades in Pimlico
Where ceilings in Pimlico offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Pimlico now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
For Pimlico premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
