Local LED lighting upgrades in Solihull
An LED upgrade in Solihull is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
In Solihull warehouses and workshops the biggest savings come from swapping metal halide high bays for LED, where a 400 W lamp plus gear can often be replaced by a fitting drawing 150 W or less.
We cover the whole of Solihull, including the B91, B92 and B90 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Shirley, Dorridge and Acocks Green.
