LED lighting upgrades in Totton
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Totton 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Totton
Most Totton 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.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Totton bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
We cover the whole of Totton, including the SO40, SO16 and SO15 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Southampton, North Baddesley and Lyndhurst.

Rules that apply in Totton
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.
