Most Bishopstoke 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.
We quote Bishopstoke LED upgrades as a fixed price with a fitting schedule, so you can see exactly what is being replaced, where, and what it should save.

Bishopstoke FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Bishopstoke?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Bishopstoke offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Bishopstoke?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, 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 remove the old fittings in Bishopstoke?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
