LED lighting upgrades in Virginia Water
What we do in Virginia Water: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Virginia Water bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Virginia Water
Where ceilings in Virginia Water offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
In Virginia Water 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 Virginia Water premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
