LED lighting upgrades in Caerphilly
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Caerphilly and Gwent. In Caerphilly 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 Caerphilly
Where ceilings in Caerphilly offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
For an LED upgrade in Caerphilly 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.
Our teams travel to Caerphilly from across Gwent. Typical nearby jobs include Pentyrch, Rhiwbina and Llantwit Fardre, so we can often combine survey visits.
