LED lighting upgrades in Wylam
What we do in Wylam: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Wylam now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.

Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Wylam bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
For an LED upgrade in Wylam 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.
Wylam sits within Northumberland. We work throughout the NE41, NE42 and NE40 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Prudhoe, Newburn and Blaydon.

Wylam FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Wylam?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you remove the old fittings in Wylam?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How quickly can you survey in Wylam?
Most surveys in Wylam can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
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.
