LED upgrades to code
Fittings are chosen to reach the lighting levels the standard sets for each area, then measured after dark.

LED & Energy Efficiency
LED upgrades surveyed against the standard after dark, so the saving is a measurement rather than a claim from a catalogue.
The problem
Lighting is the easiest load to remove from a site, and the one most often left in place because nobody has counted what it costs to run.
LED upgrades, emergency lighting and rewiring for warehouses and offices, done to code. Lighting is usually the simplest load to remove from a site and the easiest to measure afterwards, which is why it often goes first.
What the scope covers.
02
Emergency and exit lighting
Emergency and exit lighting installed, tested and logged, so every periodic test has a record.
03
Warehouse, office and outdoor sports
High-bay warehouses, open-plan offices and floodlit courts, each lit to its own standard.
04
Rewiring and circuit work
Old circuits rewired and switching zoned, so lights run where people are, not across the whole floor.
What it usually looks like
Typical range on a commercial site.
Indicative ranges. The after-dark survey sets your figures.

After-dark survey to the standard
Indicative ranges for scoping only, not measurements from a specific job.
How it runs, start to finish.
01
Survey after dark
Existing light levels are measured at night, when the lighting is doing the work.
02
Specify to the standard
Fittings are chosen to reach the required levels with the fewest watts.
03
Swap and rewire
Old fittings come out, circuits and controls are updated, and emergency lighting is brought to code.
04
Measure again
Levels are measured after the install, so the saving and the compliance are both on record.
Before you ask us.
How much does an LED upgrade save?
The typical range against metal halide is shown above. On your site it is measured before and after, so the saving is a figure, not a catalogue claim.
Do you test emergency and exit lighting?
Yes. We install, test and log emergency and exit lighting to the standard, and can take on the periodic testing.
Can you light outdoor sports courts?
Yes. Tennis and futsal courts are lit to their own standard, and the levels are measured on the court after dark.
