LED lighting upgrades in North Yorkshire
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 North Yorkshire, including York, Middlesbrough and Harrogate.
LED lighting upgrades work in North Yorkshire
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in North Yorkshire now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
For an LED upgrade in North Yorkshire 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.
What's included
- Testing and a BS 7671 certificate for the work, with a schedule of what was fitted
- Like-for-like or re-planned layouts so light levels meet BS EN 12464-1
- Safe removal and recycling of old fluorescent tubes as hazardous waste
- Complete LED luminaires rather than tube swaps, so old control gear is removed

LED lighting upgrades FAQs for North Yorkshire
What energy rules apply to new lighting in North Yorkshire?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in North Yorkshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
How are prices set in North Yorkshire?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
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.
What does an LED upgrade cost?
As a budget, LED panels run at about £50–£150 per fitting supplied and installed, battens £80–£200 and high bays £150–£400, excluding VAT. Access equipment, rewiring and controls are extra.
