LED lighting upgrades in Telford
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Telford 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.

Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Telford bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Where ceilings in Telford offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Our teams travel to Telford from across Shropshire. Typical nearby jobs include St Georges and Priorslee, Madeley and Wellington, so we can often combine survey visits.

Rules that apply in Telford
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.
In Great Britain, common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by ecodesign rules from 1 September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended on 1 February 2024.
Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
