LED lighting upgrades in Isle of Canna
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Isle of Canna 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Isle of Canna
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Isle of Canna now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Where ceilings in Isle of Canna offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
We cover the whole of Isle of Canna, including the PH44 postcode district, and nearby places such as Isle of Rum and Isle of Eigg.
We cover Isle of Canna 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 Isle of Canna
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.
