LED lighting upgrades in Stromness
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Stromness and the Highlands and Islands. In Stromness 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 Stromness
An LED upgrade in Stromness is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
For an LED upgrade in Stromness 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.
Our teams travel to Stromness from across the Highlands and Islands. Typical nearby jobs include Gorseness and Kirkwall, so we can often combine survey visits.
We cover Stromness 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 Stromness
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.
