Rules that apply in Merthyr Tydfil
The Welsh Approved Document L Volume 2 (2022) uses 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt for general lighting, with alternatives such as LENI. A new Welsh edition takes effect from 4 March 2027 with a higher figure of more than 105.
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 Wales generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
Merthyr Tydfil FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Merthyr Tydfil?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Who does the work in Merthyr Tydfil?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
Do you remove the old fittings in Merthyr Tydfil?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
