LED lighting upgrades work in Perth and Kinross
Where ceilings in Perth and Kinross offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
For an LED upgrade in Perth and Kinross 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.
What's included
- A walk-round survey counting fittings, wattages, running hours and ceiling types
- Complete LED luminaires rather than tube swaps, so old control gear is removed
- Optional presence and daylight sensors to cut running hours further
- Testing and a BS 7671 certificate for the work, with a schedule of what was fitted

We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
