LED lighting upgrades in Fareham
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. We quote Fareham 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Fareham
For an LED upgrade in Fareham 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.
Most Fareham 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.
Fareham is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts PO16, PO15 and PO14. We regularly work across Hampshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Fareham
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.
Fareham FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Fareham?
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 cover all of Fareham?
Yes. We work across Fareham and the PO16, PO15 and PO14 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Wickham, Gosport and Locks Heath.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
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.
