Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Kelso bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
In Kelso 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.
For Kelso premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
