LED lighting upgrades in Cuddesdon
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Cuddesdon and Oxfordshire. Where ceilings in Cuddesdon offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Cuddesdon
For an LED upgrade in Cuddesdon 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.
In Cuddesdon 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.
We cover the whole of Cuddesdon, including the OX44, OX33 and OX4 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Cowley, Holton and Wallingford.

Rules that apply in Cuddesdon
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.
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.
