LED lighting upgrades in Perth
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Perth 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Perth
Most Perth 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.
An LED upgrade in Perth is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Perth is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts PH2 and PH1. We regularly work across Perth and Kinross, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Perth
Standard 6.5 of the Scottish building standards covers efficient, controllable lighting. The non-domestic guidance uses 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt for general lighting, or LENI.
In Great Britain, including Scotland, 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.
Scotland does not use the England and Wales EPC E letting rule. Instead, some non-domestic buildings over 1,000 m² need an action plan when sold or let, under Section 63 regulations.
Perth FAQs
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.
How quickly can you survey in Perth?
Most surveys in Perth can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do you cover all of Perth?
Yes. We work across Perth and the PH2 and PH1 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Auchterarder, Kinross and Blairgowrie.
Do you just change the tubes?
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.
