LED lighting upgrades in Eccles
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Eccles and Greater Manchester. In Eccles 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Eccles
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Eccles now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Eccles bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Eccles is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts M30, M17 and M6. We regularly work across Greater Manchester, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Eccles
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.
Eccles FAQs
Do you cover all of Eccles?
Yes. We work across Eccles and the M30, M17 and M6 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Swinton, Salford and Stretford.
Do you remove the old fittings in Eccles?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can you work out of hours in Eccles?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Eccles offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
