LED lighting upgrades in Heriot
What we do in Heriot: 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 Heriot now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Heriot
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Heriot bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Where ceilings in Heriot offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
We cover the whole of Heriot, including the EH38 postcode district, and nearby places such as Arniston, Pathhead and Humbie.
