LED lighting upgrades in Elgin
What we do in Elgin: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Elgin bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Elgin
Most Elgin 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 Elgin 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.
We cover the whole of Elgin, including the IV30 postcode district, and nearby places such as Lossiemouth, Mosstodloch and Forres.
