LED lighting upgrades in Letchworth Garden City
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Letchworth Garden City 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 Letchworth Garden City offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
