LED lighting upgrades in Dummer
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Dummer and Hampshire. In Dummer 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 Dummer
Where ceilings in Dummer offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Dummer now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Dummer sits within Hampshire. We work throughout the RG25, RG22 and RG23 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Basingstoke, Whitchurch and Tadley.

Rules that apply in Dummer
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.
Dummer FAQs
Do you cover all of Dummer?
Yes. We work across Dummer and the RG25, RG22 and RG23 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Basingstoke, Whitchurch and Tadley.
Can you work out of hours in Dummer?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Dummer offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
How quickly can you survey in Dummer?
Most surveys in Dummer 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.
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.
