LED lighting upgrades in Speke
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Speke 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Speke
In Speke 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 Speke 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.
Speke is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts L24, L26 and L25. We regularly work across Merseyside, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Speke FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Speke?
Most surveys in Speke can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Can you work out of hours in Speke?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Speke offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
Do you just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
