Local LED lighting upgrades in Sketty
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Sketty now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Sketty bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Sketty is a local centre, covered by postcode districts SA2, SA5 and SA1. We regularly work across West Glamorgan, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Sketty
The Welsh Approved Document L Volume 2 (2022) uses 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt for general lighting, with alternatives such as LENI. A new Welsh edition takes effect from 4 March 2027 with a higher figure of more than 105.
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 Wales generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
Sketty FAQs
Do you cover all of Sketty?
Yes. We work across Sketty and the SA2, SA5 and SA1 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Swansea, Penderry and Bishopston.
Do you remove the old fittings in Sketty?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can you work out of hours in Sketty?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Sketty offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
