LED lighting upgrades in Ippollitts
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Ippollitts 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.

In Ippollitts 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 Ippollitts now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
We cover the whole of Ippollitts, including the SG4, SG1 and SG5 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Hitchin, Stevenage and Letchworth Garden City.
