LED lighting upgrades FAQs for West Glamorgan
What energy rules apply to new lighting in West Glamorgan?
The Welsh Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in West Glamorgan must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
How are prices set in West Glamorgan?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
How long does an office LED upgrade take?
A typical 400 m² office with around 40 fittings is often a one- or two-day job. Larger sites are phased zone by zone, and we can work evenings or weekends.
