LED lighting upgrades in Wye
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Wye 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Wye
We quote Wye LED upgrades as a fixed price with a fitting schedule, so you can see exactly what is being replaced, where, and what it should save.
In Wye 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.
Wye is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts TN25, TN24 and TN23. We regularly work across Kent, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Wye FAQs
Who does the work in Wye?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
Do you remove the old fittings in Wye?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover all of Wye?
Yes. We work across Wye and the TN25, TN24 and TN23 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Ashford, Shadoxhurst and Hythe.
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.
