LED lighting upgrades in Invergordon
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Invergordon and the Highlands and Islands. In Invergordon 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Invergordon
For an LED upgrade in Invergordon we start by counting fittings and running hours, because payback depends far more on how long lights are on than on the price of the fittings.
Most Invergordon 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.
Our teams travel to Invergordon from across the Highlands and Islands. Typical nearby jobs include Alness, Cromarty and Evanton, so we can often combine survey visits.
We cover Invergordon 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.

Rules that apply in Invergordon
Standard 6.5 of the Scottish building standards covers efficient, controllable lighting. The non-domestic guidance uses 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt for general lighting, or LENI.
In Great Britain, including Scotland, common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by ecodesign rules from 1 September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended on 1 February 2024.
Scotland does not use the England and Wales EPC E letting rule. Instead, some non-domestic buildings over 1,000 m² need an action plan when sold or let, under Section 63 regulations.
