LED lighting upgrades in Northumberland
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 Northumberland, including Blyth, Cramlington and Ashington.
LED lighting upgrades work in Northumberland
An LED upgrade in Northumberland is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Where ceilings in Northumberland offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
What's included
- 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
- Optional presence and daylight sensors to cut running hours further

LED lighting upgrades FAQs for Northumberland
How are prices set in Northumberland?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Northumberland?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Northumberland must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
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.
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.
