LED lighting upgrades in Strathaven
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Strathaven 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.

An LED upgrade in Strathaven is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Where ceilings in Strathaven offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
For Strathaven premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Rules that apply in Strathaven
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.
