LED lighting upgrades in Graig
What we do in Graig: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Graig now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Graig
Most Graig 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.
For an LED upgrade in Graig 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.
Graig is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts NP10, NP20 and NP19. We regularly work across Gwent, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Graig FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Graig?
Most surveys in Graig can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do you remove the old fittings in Graig?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Graig?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
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.
