LED lighting upgrades in Worcestershire
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 Worcestershire, including Worcester, Redditch and Kidderminster.
LED lighting upgrades work in Worcestershire
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Worcestershire now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
An LED upgrade in Worcestershire is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
What's included
- Like-for-like or re-planned layouts so light levels meet BS EN 12464-1
- Safe removal and recycling of old fluorescent tubes as hazardous waste
- 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
