LED lighting upgrades in Prescot
What we do in Prescot: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Prescot bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Prescot
In Prescot 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.
For an LED upgrade in Prescot 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 Prescot from across Merseyside. Typical nearby jobs include Huyton, St Helens and Belle Vale, so we can often combine survey visits.
