LED lighting upgrades in Lanarkshire
A commercial LED lighting upgrade replaces old fluorescent, halogen, metal halide or sodium fittings with complete LED luminaires, usually on the existing circuits. We cover Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cumbernauld.
LED lighting upgrades work in Lanarkshire
An LED upgrade in Lanarkshire is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Most Lanarkshire 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.
What's included
- Safe removal and recycling of old fluorescent tubes as hazardous waste
- A walk-round survey counting fittings, wattages, running hours and ceiling types
- Complete LED luminaires rather than tube swaps, so old control gear is removed
- Optional presence and daylight sensors to cut running hours further

Which towns in Lanarkshire do you cover?

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.
