LED lighting upgrades in Ely
What we do in Ely: 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 Ely now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Ely
For an LED upgrade in Ely 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.
In Ely 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 Ely from across South Glamorgan. Typical nearby jobs include Cardiff, Rhiwbina and Pentyrch, so we can often combine survey visits.
