LED lighting upgrades in Bath
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Bath businesses we survey still have a mix of T8 battens, 600×600 fluorescent panels and the odd halogen downlight. Replacing them with complete LED luminaires usually cuts lighting energy by a third to a half.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Bath
We quote Bath LED upgrades as a fixed price with a fitting schedule, so you can see exactly what is being replaced, where, and what it should save.
In Bath 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.
Our teams travel to Bath from across Somerset. Typical nearby jobs include Bradford-on-Avon, Keynsham and Bitton, so we can often combine survey visits.
