LED lighting upgrades in Bothwell
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Bothwell and Lanarkshire. Where ceilings in Bothwell offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Bothwell
Most Bothwell 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.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Bothwell bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Our teams travel to Bothwell from across Lanarkshire. Typical nearby jobs include Blantyre, Uddingston and Viewpark, so we can often combine survey visits.

Rules that apply in Bothwell
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.
