LED lighting upgrades in Thame
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Thame and Oxfordshire. Where ceilings in Thame 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 Thame
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Thame now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
In Thame 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.
Thame sits within Oxfordshire. We work throughout the OX9 and OX39 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Chinnor, Ashendon and Dinton.

Rules that apply in Thame
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.
Thame FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Thame?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Thame 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.
Do you remove the old fittings in Thame?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
