Local LED lighting upgrades in Lymington
In Lymington 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.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Lymington now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
For Lymington premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
