Better Light for Less Energy
LED lighting uses a fraction of the electricity of the halogen and fluorescent fittings it replaces, and it lasts far longer. A good upgrade is about more than swapping lamps, though. Colour temperature, beam angle, brightness and glare all affect how a room or workspace feels once the new lights are on.
Simply Electrical Contractors replaces downlights, fluorescent tubes, high bays, floodlights and decorative fittings with LED equivalents, and installs new lighting where a layout is changing. Existing dimmers and transformers are checked for compatibility, because the wrong combination is the usual cause of flicker and buzzing.
In commercial premises the work can be phased around opening hours, and emergency versions of fittings are used where the escape lighting depends on them. Altered circuits are tested and the relevant certification provided.

Common questions
Useful Information Before You Enquire
For advice about a specific property, contact the team with the postcode and job details.
01Can I just swap my bulbs for LED ones?
Often, yes. Where lights run from transformers or dimmers, those parts may also need changing to stop flicker or early failures.
02What makes LED lights flicker?
The usual causes are a dimmer or transformer designed for older lamps, or a poor-quality driver. Matching the control gear to the fitting normally cures it.
03How much energy does LED lighting save?
LED lamps typically use well under half the electricity of halogen equivalents for the same light. The saving for a building depends on how many fittings there are and how long they are on.
04Do LED fittings need special dimmers?
They need dimmers rated for LED loads. The dimmer has to suit the type and number of fittings on the circuit.
