Here’s a simple calculation showing the savings from upgrading just 20 high-bay lights (please check your current price per Kwh and do your own calculations to verify savings) :

Scenario:

• Currently using 20 × 400W metal halide fittings (8 kW total load)

• Currently used 12 hours per day, 6 days per week (~3,744 hrs per year)

• Currently UK industrial electricity cost: ~£0.30 per kWh

Payback Period

• LED install cost: £4,000

• Payback time: 0.7 years (around 8 months)

• After this, the factory enjoys over £5,600 in savings every year

Why Upgrade to LED Lighting?

Factories and industrial units in the UK face rising electricity costs and pressure to reduce carbon emissions. Traditional lighting such as metal halide or fluorescent fittings consume large amounts of power and require frequent maintenance.

Switching to LED lighting delivers immediate benefits:

• Reduce energy bills by up to 70%

• Lower maintenance costs (LEDs last 5–10 times longer)

• Improve workplace lighting and safety

• Support your company’s Net Zero and compliance goals (ESOS, SECR, CCA)

Benefits for UK Business

• Immediate and measurable cost reductions

• Long-term protection against rising energy prices

• Lower carbon footprint to support sustainability goals

• Improved lighting quality for safer and more productive workspaces

• Eligible for tax relief and potential government incentives
