LED upgrades that cut your energy bill and pay for themselves

Energy-efficient LED lighting designed and installed across the South West — domestic, commercial and industrial. From blocks of apartments and warehouses to offices and external car parks. Up to 80% energy reduction, typical payback in 12–24 months.

Financial benefits

The numbers behind an LED upgrade

Up to 80% less energy used, payback typically inside 12–24 months, and lamps that last 5–10 years between changes. A straightforward upgrade with measurable, recoverable value.

What we do

Energy-efficient LED lighting design and install

The right LED lighting can be key to improving the energy usage of a building — and the wellbeing of the people working inside it. BLEC Group designs and installs energy-efficient LED lighting across the South West for domestic, commercial and industrial clients. From blocks of apartments, warehouses and factories, to offices, external car parks and more.

LED lighting results in much-reduced energy usage. Save money, enhance corporate reputation, and improve the working environment — whilst helping reduce your carbon footprint with BLEC Group.

Installation across any size of premises

Any size of LED lighting installation can be undertaken by our team of installers. All our engineers are 18th Edition qualified electricians with knowledge and experience working in the lighting industry.

No need to worry about access. We’ll arrange everything — from small step-up podiums right up to heights of more than 12 metres where Mobile Elevate Platforms are used. All our staff are IPAF trained in the use of these machines.

Our detailed survey includes the following:

Financial benefits

There are many financial benefits to installing LED lighting. These include:

Operational benefits

The operational benefits of installing LEDs are proven and clear:

Environmental benefits

Installing new LED lights also has important environmental benefits:

Grants & funding

Funding to assist with the initial outlay cost to install and upgrade your lighting systems is often available. Get in touch and we’ll talk you through what’s available for your premises and how the application process works.

Why BLEC for LED upgrades

Lower bills, brighter spaces, better numbers

Six things that come as standard on every BLEC LED upgrade — from the free survey through to grants advice and CIBSE-compliant designs.

Free detailed survey

Identify existing lighting, design replacement levels, cost out the work, and calculate payback — all before you commit.

Up to 80% energy saved

The right LED design slashes onsite electricity usage by up to 80% — a measurable, recoverable reduction on your monthly bill.

18th Edition & IPAF trained

All engineers are 18th Edition qualified electricians, with IPAF training for Mobile Elevate Platform work up to 12 metres+.

12–24 month payback

Typical payback periods of 12–24 months, sometimes less. The detailed survey gives you a specific number for your site.

How does the payback calculation actually work?

The free survey identifies your existing lighting setup, measures the typical hours of use, and works out the kWh you’re currently consuming. We then design a like-for-like LED replacement and calculate the new consumption. The difference, multiplied by your unit electricity cost, gives the annual saving. Divide the install cost by the annual saving and you’ve got your payback period — usually 12–24 months, often less.

Do we need to switch every light at once?

No. Many clients phase the upgrade — by zone, floor, or building — to spread the capital cost or work around operational constraints. The survey will show which areas give the fastest payback if you want to target those first. Whole-building upgrades are typically cheaper per fitting on the install side, but phased rollouts can be funded from the savings as you go.

Will the new lighting look too harsh or "clinical"?

Modern LEDs are available in a wide range of colour temperatures — from warm 2700K (similar to an incandescent) through neutral 4000K to cool 6000K. The design stage covers colour temperature, lux levels and beam angle, and we’ll work with you to specify lighting that suits the space and the people in it. CIBSE guidelines also factor in here for productive working environments.

What about our existing dimmers, sensors and controls?

The survey identifies existing controls — dimmers, occupancy sensors, daylight sensors, time switches — and the design will specify LED drivers that are compatible with what you want to keep. Where existing controls aren’t LED-compatible (some older trailing-edge dimmers, for instance) we’ll flag that in the quotation and offer replacement options.

Are energy efficiency grants still available?

Funding to assist with the initial outlay cost is often available, but the specific schemes change frequently — sometimes regionally, sometimes by sector. As part of the quotation process we’ll check what’s currently on offer for your premises type and location, and point you toward the right application route. Get in touch and we’ll go through the latest.

Can you do warehouses and high-bay installations?

Yes. Warehouses, factories and high-bay environments are some of the highest-impact LED upgrades — large numbers of high-wattage fittings running long hours give significant savings. Access is no problem either: we use Mobile Elevate Platforms for heights over 12 metres, and all our staff are IPAF trained in their use. The survey covers both the lighting design and the access strategy for installation.
