Commercial Lighting Contractors for Businesses Across the Midlands
Your lighting system has a direct impact on your bottom line. Poor lighting wastes energy and reduces productivity. It can also create safety risks. At Ecolighting UK, we design and install commercial and industrial lighting solutions, with many of our branded products manufactured here in the UK. This ensures superior performance, greater quality control, and long‑term cost efficiency for our clients. As an experienced lighting contractor, our products come with a minimum 5‑year warranty, with selected ranges covered for up to 10 years.
We support businesses across Leicester, Birmingham and the wider Midlands with lighting installation, upgrades and energy audits. So, whether you’re looking to reduce energy bills, improve facility performance or upgrade outdated systems, EcoLighting UK is an energy efficient lighting company with practical solutions that will work within your budget and timeline.
We’ve been designing and installing commercial lighting since 1971. With more than fifty years of experience in industrial and commercial environments, we understand the real impact lighting has on your operation. We don’t oversell, we simply specify exactly what you need and deliver it on time and on budget.
What We Do
Commercial Lighting Installation
We design, supply and install lighting systems for commercial and industrial facilities. The Ecolighting UK team can handle anything, whether that be a warehouse high bay or office and retail lighting. As we manufacture our own fittings, we control the full specification to deliver the right solution for your environment and budget. As a trusted lighting contractor, we manage projects from survey through to installation.
Lighting upgrades
Outdated lighting systems waste money and create performance issues. At Ecolighting UK, we upgrade current installations to modern LED solutions, improving efficiency while maintaining light output. As an energy efficient lighting company, we help businesses lower long-term operating costs without compromising performance.
Energy-Efficient LED Lighting
We design and manufacture high-performance LED fittings in the UK, giving us full control over output, efficiency and cost. Our fittings outperform off-the-shelf alternatives, require fewer units and come with up to a 10-year warranty.
LED Replacement
We replace outdated lighting systems, including fluorescent strips and inefficient fittings, with modern, high‑efficiency LED solutions. This delivers lower energy costs, improved light quality, and reduced maintenance requirements. We also carry out full lighting audits to identify the most suitable replacements for your space.
Warehouse and Commercial Lighting
We specialise in warehouse, factory and large facility lighting. Our high bay fittings are designed for 5m to 20m mounting heights and deliver the output commercial operations need. Whether it’s a distribution centre, manufacturing plant or commercial unit, we specify and install lighting built for the job.
Lighting Energy Audits
We conduct detailed audits of your existing lighting to identify inefficiencies and reduce running costs. We’ll outline upgrade options, calculate payback periods and help you decide what’s worth investing in, with clear costs and projected savings.

How We Work: Survey, Design, Install
An inside look at our end-to-end process — from initial site survey through to design and installation. While the lighting technology has evolved from fluorescent to today’s LED systems, our approach to delivering turnkey energy-saving solutions for commercial and industrial clients remains the same.
How it works
From Survey to Savings in 4 Simple Steps
We manage the entire project end-to-end so you don’t have to.
1
Free Lighting Survey
We carry out a full site survey, including lux level readings, area measurements, ceiling heights, and the locations of existing lighting and cabling. We’ll also request recent electricity bills to help assess current energy usage.
2
Design & Quote
We create a detailed Relux lighting design in line with CIBSE, Part L, and BS EN 12464 standards. You’ll receive a comprehensive quotation including projected energy savings, return on investment (ROI), and CO₂ reduction figures.
3
Installation
our dedicated Project Manager will visit site to coordinate all project details, identify any site restrictions, produce RAMS documentation in line with HSE requirements, and agree a suitable installation programme. Our in-house BS7671 qualified engineers will carry out the installation around your operation to minimise disruption.

Handover & Support
Full commissioning, compliance certificates, staff training, and ongoing maintenance support. You’re covered.
The Transformation
See The Difference LED makes
Most warehouses are running outdated fittings that waste energy and fail health & safety requirements. Here’s what changes.
Before — Legacy Lighting
- 400W metal halide fittings drawing excessive power
- 20-minute warm-up time, no instant restrike
- Below 100 lux at floor — failing CIBSE guidelines
- Constant lamp failures & expensive maintenance callouts
- No dimming or occupancy sensor capability
After — Ecolighting LED System
- 150–200W LED replacements — 50-80% energy reduction
- Instant on/off with zero warm-up delay
- Improved lux levels — meeting or exceeding CIBSE requirements
- 50,000+ hour rated life — 8+ years maintenance-free
- Integrated occupancy and daylight harvesting sensors to maximise efficiency

The Problems We Solve
High Energy Costs
Outdated lighting systems waste energy and increase costs year after year. LED upgrades deliver significant savings and often pay for themselves within two to three years. We’ll calculate the payback and show you exactly what you’ll save.
Poor Lighting Performance
Inadequate lighting reduces productivity, creates safety issues and impacts the appearance of your facility. We specify lighting that delivers the right illumination for your environment, whether it’s a warehouse, manufacturing area or retail space.
Outdated Systems
Older lighting systems are inefficient, costly to run and harder to maintain. Modern LED solutions deliver better performance, lower energy costs and reduced maintenance requirements.
Inefficient Fittings
Standard off-the-shelf fittings often require more units to achieve the right illumination and consume more energy. We design and manufacture fittings with higher lumen output per unit, reducing fitting numbers, installation costs and long-term running costs.
Results that speak
What Our Clients Actually Saved
Real projects. Real results. Real facilities managers like you.
“It was the energy saving that was the key driver, we only committed to a 50% reduction in energy use, in practice it was nearer 70% resulting in annual savings of circa £70,000, If we had of stayed with the old system, this annual saving opportunity would have been lost forever”
£70,000 Annual energy savings
Kevin McGlynn
Head of Facilities at Cadbury
“From the first point of contact and through the whole installation process, the Ecolighting team has been efficient, supportive and produced an excellent end result. Because of our experience this time, we will certainly consider switching the lighting in some of our other warehouses, especially as the price was so competitive and has proved to be well worth the money we invested.”

Vaughan Bendall
Project Manager at London City Bond
“As part of some general improvements to the warehouse we decided to switch to LED lighting to reduce our running costs. We chose to work with Ecolighting as we have worked with them for years and have always been impressed with their work and the savings we make. We are very pleased with the results.”
