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

Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Wetherby bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Where ceilings in Wetherby offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Wetherby sits within West Yorkshire. We work throughout the LS22 and LS23 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Boston Spa, Knaresborough and Harrogate.

Wetherby FAQs
Who does the work in Wetherby?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Wetherby?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
