LED lighting upgrades in Redbourn
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. An LED upgrade in Redbourn is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.

We quote Redbourn LED upgrades as a fixed price with a fitting schedule, so you can see exactly what is being replaced, where, and what it should save.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Redbourn now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
For Redbourn premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Redbourn FAQs

Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you remove the old fittings in Redbourn?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover all of Redbourn?
Yes. We work across Redbourn and the AL3, AL5 and AL1 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as St Albans, Harpenden and Sandridge.
Can the upgrade be claimed against tax?
Many businesses can claim capital allowances on lighting, for example through the Annual Investment Allowance. Lighting in a building is usually treated as an integral feature, so ask your accountant how it applies to you.
