LED lighting upgrades in Wiltshire
A commercial LED lighting upgrade replaces old fluorescent, halogen, metal halide or sodium fittings with complete LED luminaires, usually on the existing circuits. We cover Wiltshire, including Swindon, Salisbury and Trowbridge.
LED lighting upgrades work in Wiltshire
An LED upgrade in Wiltshire is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
For an LED upgrade in Wiltshire 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.
What's included
- Safe removal and recycling of old fluorescent tubes as hazardous waste
- Like-for-like or re-planned layouts so light levels meet BS EN 12464-1
- A walk-round survey counting fittings, wattages, running hours and ceiling types
- Complete LED luminaires rather than tube swaps, so old control gear is removed

Rules that apply in Wiltshire
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.

LED lighting upgrades FAQs for Wiltshire
How are prices set in Wiltshire?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Wiltshire?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Wiltshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
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.
Do you just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
