Local LED lighting upgrades in Colne
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Colne now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Colne bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Our teams travel to Colne from across Lancashire. Typical nearby jobs include Nelson, Salterforth and Burnley, so we can often combine survey visits.
