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

Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Waddington bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Where ceilings in Waddington offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Waddington sits within Lincolnshire. We work throughout the LN5 and LN6 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Lincoln, Nettleham and Burton.

Rules that apply in Waddington
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.
Waddington FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Waddington?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L 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 Waddington?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Waddington offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
