LED lighting upgrades in Dorking
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Dorking and Surrey. In Dorking 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.

Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
