LED lighting upgrades in Llantwit Major

Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Llantwit Major 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 Llantwit Major

In Llantwit Major 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.

An LED upgrade in Llantwit Major is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.

Our teams travel to Llantwit Major from across South Glamorgan. Typical nearby jobs include Cowbridge, Bridgend and Pencoed, so we can often combine survey visits.
