Local LED lighting upgrades in Preston
Where ceilings in Preston offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
For an LED upgrade in Preston 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.
Our teams travel to Preston from across Lancashire. Typical nearby jobs include Bamber Bridge, Leyland and Freckleton, so we can often combine survey visits.
