LED lighting upgrades in Castleford
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Castleford 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Castleford
For an LED upgrade in Castleford we start by counting fittings and running hours, because payback depends far more on how long lights are on than on the price of the fittings.
An LED upgrade in Castleford is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Our teams travel to Castleford from across West Yorkshire. Typical nearby jobs include Normanton, Kippax and Pontefract, so we can often combine survey visits.
