Local LED lighting upgrades in Chapeltown
Where ceilings in Chapeltown offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
In Chapeltown 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 Chapeltown from across South Yorkshire. Typical nearby jobs include Hoyland, Wombwell and Burngreave, so we can often combine survey visits.
