LED lighting upgrades in Birkenhead
What we do in Birkenhead: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Birkenhead bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Birkenhead
Most Birkenhead businesses we survey still have a mix of T8 battens, 600×600 fluorescent panels and the odd halogen downlight. Replacing them with complete LED luminaires usually cuts lighting energy by a third to a half.
An LED upgrade in Birkenhead is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
We cover the whole of Birkenhead, including the CH41, CH42 and L2 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Liverpool, Kensington and Wallasey.
