LED lighting upgrades in Wellington
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Wellington and Somerset. In Wellington 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Wellington
We quote Wellington 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.
For an LED upgrade in Wellington 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.
Our teams travel to Wellington from across Somerset. Typical nearby jobs include Lydeard St Lawrence, Taunton and Kentisbeare, so we can often combine survey visits.

Rules that apply in Wellington
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.
