LED lighting upgrades in Market Harborough
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Market Harborough and Northamptonshire. In Market Harborough 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Market Harborough
Most Market Harborough 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.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Market Harborough bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
For Market Harborough premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

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 England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
