LED lighting upgrades in Warwickshire
A commercial LED lighting upgrade replaces old fluorescent, halogen, metal halide or sodium fittings with complete LED luminaires, usually on the existing circuits. We cover Warwickshire, including Nuneaton, Rugby and Leamington Spa.
LED lighting upgrades work in Warwickshire
For an LED upgrade in Warwickshire 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.
An LED upgrade in Warwickshire is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
What's included
- Optional presence and daylight sensors to cut running hours further
- Testing and a BS 7671 certificate for the work, with a schedule of what was fitted
- Complete LED luminaires rather than tube swaps, so old control gear is removed
- Safe removal and recycling of old fluorescent tubes as hazardous waste

Rules that apply in Warwickshire
Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.
In Great Britain, common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by ecodesign rules from 1 September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended on 1 February 2024.
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.

LED lighting upgrades FAQs for Warwickshire
Which fire safety law applies in Warwickshire?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.
How are prices set in Warwickshire?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
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.
Do you just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
