Local LED lighting upgrades in North Watford
In North Watford 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.
Where ceilings in North Watford offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
For North Watford premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
