LED lighting upgrades in Eastleigh
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Eastleigh and Hampshire. In Eastleigh 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 Eastleigh
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Eastleigh now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
For an LED upgrade in Eastleigh 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.
We cover the whole of Eastleigh, including the SO50, SO53 and SO18 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Bishopstoke, North Baddesley and Hedge End.

Rules that apply in Eastleigh
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.
