LED lighting upgrades in Surbiton
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Surbiton and Greater London. In Surbiton 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.

Most Surbiton 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.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Surbiton bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Our teams travel to Surbiton from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Hook, New Malden and Chessington, so we can often combine survey visits.

Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.
In Great Britain, common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by ecodesign rules from 1 September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended on 1 February 2024.
Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
