Local LED lighting upgrades in Abertillery
For an LED upgrade in Abertillery 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.
In Abertillery 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.
We cover the whole of Abertillery, including the NP13, NP4 and NP23 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Ebbw Vale, Pontypool and Bargoed.
