LED lighting upgrades in Cowes
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. An LED upgrade in Cowes is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Cowes
Where ceilings in Cowes offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Most Cowes 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 Cowes from across the Isle of Wight. Typical nearby jobs include Newport, Ryde and Locks Heath, so we can often combine survey visits.
