LED lighting upgrades in Hedge End
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. An LED upgrade in Hedge End is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Hedge End
Most Hedge End 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.
Where ceilings in Hedge End offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
We cover the whole of Hedge End, including the SO30, SO19 and SO18 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Locks Heath, Bishopstoke and Eastleigh.
