Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. An LED upgrade in Castletown is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Castletown
For an LED upgrade in Castletown 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.
Most Castletown 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.
Our teams travel to Castletown from across Tyne and Wear. Typical nearby jobs include Sunderland, Washington and Jarrow, so we can often combine survey visits.
