LED lighting upgrades in Mid Glamorgan
A commercial LED lighting upgrade replaces old fluorescent, halogen, metal halide or sodium fittings with complete LED luminaires, usually on the existing circuits. We cover Mid Glamorgan, including Rhondda, Tonypandy and Bridgend.
LED lighting upgrades work in Mid Glamorgan
Most Mid Glamorgan 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.
In Mid Glamorgan 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.
What's included
- Like-for-like or re-planned layouts so light levels meet BS EN 12464-1
- Testing and a BS 7671 certificate for the work, with a schedule of what was fitted
- Safe removal and recycling of old fluorescent tubes as hazardous waste
- Optional presence and daylight sensors to cut running hours further

LED lighting upgrades FAQs for Mid Glamorgan
How are prices set in Mid Glamorgan?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
Which fire safety law applies in Mid Glamorgan?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.
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.
Can the upgrade be claimed against tax?
Many businesses can claim capital allowances on lighting, for example through the Annual Investment Allowance. Lighting in a building is usually treated as an integral feature, so ask your accountant how it applies to you.
