Fluorescent lights can be converted to LED quickly and cheaply
Options:
- LED tubes kit 4ft 5ft 6ft 8ft in your fluorescent lights
- LED corn-bulbs kit in your high-bay / low-bay lights
- Replacing your lights with new LED light-fittings
Stephen
can visit you in the UK to survey your fluorescent and high-bay/low-bay
lights and help you decide the best way to change them to an
energy-saving type (see examples of lights we've converted or replaced with LED over the past 12 years)
Stephen can advise you on any grants to save up to 60% of the cost of your LED conversion
How to choose LED conversions:LED tubes in linear fluorescent (strip) lights
 
LED tubes contain the LEDs and transformer to convert mains power all in one tube.
Pros:
- Cheap to buy and easy to retrofit into your lights with starters
- Good LED tubes let you angle the LED beam where you want it
Cons:
- In enclosed light-fittings these should not be used all day as heat can't escape
- Fluorescent lights must be in good condition to give electrical contact
See our page about fluorescent to LED tube conversion kits
LED corn-bulbs conversion for your high-bay / low-bay lights 
LED corn bulbs are usually a cheap-to-buy retrofit conversion kit for warehouse-style lights..
They have the LEDs on the outside and the mains transformer on the inside.
Pros: Cheap to buy and easy to fit (you must get an electrician to remove old light ballast)
Cons: In enclosed light-fittings these should only be used a few hours a day (no cooling air)
See our warning about when NOT to use LED corn bulb kits
Low-bay
lights and IP65 waterproof fluorescent lights are rarely safe to
convert to LED as the heat is enclosed so the electronics can wear-out.
The solution:
Replacing your lights with new LED light-fittings
Retrofit LED conversion kits work best if your fluorescent or high-bay lights have no reflectors left on the lights.
If your lights are more than about ten years old, or have been used in a dusty, damp, chemical or busy environment we wouldn't recommend LED conversion kits.
Nasty
as it sounds but in a crowded area skin-cells can be highly corrosive
to the exposed electrical connections to bulbs and tubes.
In
one LED retrofit project ten years ago we had to break the glass
fluorescent tube out of the lamp-holder of the old light-fitting in a
busy lecture-room before advising the client they needed new lights not
retrofit.
"How many LED lights do I need?" "What layout should I use?" "What power LEDs?"
New
LED lights can be placed where you need them, tuned to the light-level
you want. Our design-service makes sure you choose the right layout and
lights.
See examples of LED lights we've supplied (and often fitted)
