LED lighting upgrades in Cromarty
What we do in Cromarty: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Cromarty now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.

An LED upgrade in Cromarty is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
We quote Cromarty 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.
Our teams travel to Cromarty from across the Highlands and Islands. Typical nearby jobs include Invergordon, Alness and Nairn, so we can often combine survey visits.
We cover Cromarty by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
