LED lighting upgrades work in West Yorkshire

In West Yorkshire 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.

Most West Yorkshire 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.

What's included

A walk-round survey counting fittings, wattages, running hours and ceiling types
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
Like-for-like or re-planned layouts so light levels meet BS EN 12464-1

Rules that apply in West Yorkshire

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.
