LED lighting upgrades in Shropshire
A commercial LED lighting upgrade replaces old fluorescent, halogen, metal halide or sodium fittings with complete LED luminaires, usually on the existing circuits. We cover Shropshire, including Telford, Shrewsbury and Loughton.
LED lighting upgrades work in Shropshire
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Shropshire bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
In Shropshire 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.
What's included
- Testing and a BS 7671 certificate for the work, with a schedule of what was fitted
- Like-for-like or re-planned layouts so light levels meet BS EN 12464-1
- 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

Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.

LED lighting upgrades FAQs for Shropshire
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Shropshire?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Shropshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Which towns in Shropshire do you cover?
All of Shropshire, including Telford, Shrewsbury and Loughton. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
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.
Can the upgrade be claimed against tax?
Many businesses can claim capital allowances on lighting, for example through the Annual Investment Allowance. Lighting in a building is usually treated as an integral feature, so ask your accountant how it applies to you.
