LED lighting upgrades in Cardiff
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Cardiff and South Glamorgan. Where ceilings in Cardiff offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Cardiff
In Cardiff 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.
We quote Cardiff 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.
Cardiff sits within South Glamorgan. We work throughout the CF10, CF11 and CF24 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Ely, Pentwyn and Penarth.

Rules that apply in Cardiff
The Welsh Approved Document L Volume 2 (2022) uses 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt for general lighting, with alternatives such as LENI. A new Welsh edition takes effect from 4 March 2027 with a higher figure of more than 105.
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 Wales generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
Cardiff FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Cardiff?
Most surveys in Cardiff can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do you cover all of Cardiff?
Yes. We work across Cardiff and the CF10, CF11 and CF24 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Ely, Pentwyn and Penarth.
Can you work out of hours in Cardiff?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Cardiff offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
