LED lighting upgrades in Wishaw
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Wishaw and Lanarkshire. Where ceilings in Wishaw 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 Wishaw
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Wishaw now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
For an LED upgrade in Wishaw 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.
Wishaw is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts ML2, ML1 and ML9. We regularly work across Lanarkshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Wishaw
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.
Wishaw FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Wishaw?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Can you work out of hours in Wishaw?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Wishaw offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you remove the old fittings in Wishaw?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
