LED lighting upgrades in Cheddar
What we do in Cheddar: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Cheddar now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.

An LED upgrade in Cheddar is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
For an LED upgrade in Cheddar 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.
We cover the whole of Cheddar, including the BS27, BS28 and BS26 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Wedmore, Weare and Winscombe.
