LED lighting upgrades in Accrington
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Accrington and Lancashire. Where ceilings in Accrington 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 Accrington
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Accrington bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
In Accrington 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.
Our teams travel to Accrington from across Lancashire. Typical nearby jobs include Haslingden, Ightenhill and Rawtenstall, so we can often combine survey visits.

Rules that apply in Accrington
Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.
In Great Britain, 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.
Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
