LED lighting upgrades in Hatfield
What we do in Hatfield: 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 Hatfield now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Hatfield
For an LED upgrade in Hatfield 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 Hatfield 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.
For Hatfield premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Hatfield FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Hatfield?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
How quickly can you survey in Hatfield?
Most surveys in Hatfield 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 remove the old fittings in Hatfield?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can the upgrade be claimed against tax?
Many businesses can claim capital allowances on lighting, for example through the Annual Investment Allowance. Lighting in a building is usually treated as an integral feature, so ask your accountant how it applies to you.
