LED lighting upgrades in Newport
What we do in Newport: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Newport bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Newport
For an LED upgrade in Newport 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.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Newport now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Our teams travel to Newport from across Shropshire. Typical nearby jobs include St Georges and Priorslee, Gnosall and Telford, so we can often combine survey visits.
