LED lighting upgrades in Muir of Ord
What we do in Muir of Ord: 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 Muir of Ord now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.

Muir of Ord FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Muir of Ord?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
How quickly can you survey in Muir of Ord?
Most surveys in Muir of Ord can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do you cover all of Muir of Ord?
Yes. We work across Muir of Ord and the IV6 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Dingwall, Strathpeffer and Inverness.
Do you just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
