LED lighting upgrades in Castle Caereinion
What we do in Castle Caereinion: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Castle Caereinion now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.

Most Castle Caereinion 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.
We quote Castle Caereinion LED upgrades as a fixed price with a fitting schedule, so you can see exactly what is being replaced, where, and what it should save.

Castle Caereinion FAQs
Do you cover all of Castle Caereinion?
Yes. We work across Castle Caereinion and the SY21 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Llansantffraid, Montgomery and Llanllwchaiarn.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Castle Caereinion?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
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.
