LED lighting upgrades in Shirley
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Shirley 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.

Where ceilings in Shirley offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Our teams travel to Shirley from across the West Midlands. Typical nearby jobs include Solihull, Acocks Green and Wythall, so we can often combine survey visits.
