Commercial LED Lighting Installation & Upgrades

Lighting is typically the second-largest energy cost for commercial premises after heating. If your building still uses fluorescent tubes, halogen fittings, or sodium lamps, switching to LED can reduce your lighting energy consumption by 50–70%, and the savings start from day one.

Beyond the energy savings, LED lighting improves the working environment. Modern LED panels produce a consistent, flicker-free light that reduces eye strain and headaches, common complaints in offices lit by ageing fluorescent tubes. LED fittings also last 50,000+ hours compared to around 10,000 hours for a fluorescent tube, which means fewer lamp replacements, less maintenance cost, and fewer disruptions to your business from failed fittings.

Most commercial LED upgrade projects pay for themselves within 2–3 years through reduced energy bills and lower maintenance costs. After that payback period, the savings go straight to your bottom line for the remaining life of the fittings, typically another 7–10 years.

Applications

Offices

Replace fluorescent ceiling panels with modern LED equivalents. The standard 600mm x 600mm LED panel drops into the same suspended ceiling grid as the old fluorescent fitting, so the swap is quick and non-disruptive. We typically upgrade an entire office floor in a single day, often outside working hours to avoid any impact on your staff.

Warehouses and Industrial

High-bay LED fittings replace metal halide and sodium lamps in warehouses, workshops, and factory floors. LED high-bays provide instant full brightness with no warm-up time – unlike metal halide, which can take 10–15 minutes to reach full output. This also means LED lights can be used with motion sensors in low-traffic areas, saving energy when nobody is present.

Retail and Hospitality

LED track lighting, downlights, and feature lighting help showcase products and create atmosphere. We work with architects and interior designers to deliver lighting schemes that meet the visual requirements of the space while maximising energy efficiency. Colour rendering is critical in retail – we specify fittings with CRI 90+ for environments where accurate colour perception matters.

The Business Case

We can provide a full energy savings calculation for your premises. We survey your existing lighting, count the fittings, note their wattage and usage hours, and calculate the annual running cost. We then specify LED replacements, calculate the new running cost, and show you the annual saving and the payback period. This gives you a clear business case to present to your management team or landlord.
