LED lighting upgrades in Cowley
What we do in Cowley: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Cowley bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Cowley
In Cowley 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.
For an LED upgrade in Cowley 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.
Cowley sits within Oxfordshire. We work throughout the OX4, OX3 and OX1 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Oxford, Holton and Cuddesdon.

Rules that apply in Cowley
Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.

Cowley FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Cowley?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can you work out of hours in Cowley?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Cowley offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
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.
