LED lighting upgrades in Carlton
What we do in Carlton: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Carlton bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Carlton
Most Carlton 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.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Carlton now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
For Carlton premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
