Need efficient lighting for a warehouse, workshop or tall commercial space? MCI Electrical assesses the mounting height, working areas and existing circuits before installing LED high bay fittings with suitable coverage and controls. Projects are completed across Eastleigh, Segensworth, Southampton and nearby industrial estates. ## How this is priced Fittings are priced per unit and access is priced on what your building actually needs, so the two are shown separately in the quote. Quotes are free and I will walk the floor with you before pricing anything. - LED lighting upgrade — warehouse and high bay: £680 for up to 3 fittings, then £195 per additional fitting. - Quotes cover standard fitting replacements on existing wiring circuits. - High level access equipment requirement is assessed for each site layout. - Disposal of old discharge lamps and fluorescent tubes is handled in accordance with waste regulations. ## What decides the price of a high bay job The fittings are the straightforward part. What decides the price is how I get up to them: roof height, racking in the way, and whether a lift or a tower can be driven to every position. - **Mounting height and floor access:** Single storey distribution sheds in Segensworth or Hedge End Retail Park often require scissor lifts or boom lifts to reach fittings above high racking or floor stock. - **Existing circuit condition:** Commercial units along the M27 corridor or Chandler's Ford Industrial Estate may have machine circuits or older distribution boards that need inspection prior to connection. - **Fitting types and controls:** Replacing old discharge lamps with dedicated LED high bay fittings reduces circuit loading and removes high maintenance cycles in high ceiling units. ## What is and is not included This is what a high bay changeover includes, and what is arranged on top of it. ### Included - Removal of existing sodium, metal halide, or fluorescent high bay fittings - Installation and connection of new LED high bay luminaires - Testing of modified lighting circuits and Earth loop impedance - Issuing of appropriate electrical installation certification ### Not included - Complete rewiring of main lighting circuits or containment - Replacement of main distribution boards unless specified separately - Structural alterations to roof steelwork or ceiling suspensions ## Before I arrive Useful to know before I quote: the roof height, how many fittings there are, and whether the floor underneath them can be cleared for a lift. 1. **Clear space below fittings:** Ensure floor areas beneath high bay lights and access routes for lift equipment are clear of pallets, vehicles, and stock. 2. **Isolate power to lighting circuits:** Identify the distribution boards supplying the lighting circuits so power can be isolated safely during installation. ## What you are left with Even light across the whole floor on the same circuits, the old lamps and tubes taken away and disposed of properly, and the certificate the same day the work finishes. - **Light where the work is:** Modern LED high bay luminaires deliver targeted illuminance directly to working areas, picking aisles, and racking rows without dark spots. - **A lower running cost:** Lower wattage requirements across high bay fittings reduce electrical consumption for facilities operating continuous trading or shift hours. - **No more lift hire for lamps:** Longer component lifespans eliminate the recurring need to hire access machinery just to replace burnt out discharge lamps. - **Certification for the work:** You receive the required electrical certification detailing circuit test results and confirmation of safe installation. ## Questions I get asked The questions warehouses ask before changing to LED high bays. ### Can high bay LED lighting be fitted to existing lighting circuits? Yes, I can usually connect new LED high bay fittings directly to your existing wiring points, provided the existing circuits and circuit protection pass safety checks. ### How do you reach fittings installed at high ceiling heights? I use mobile elevating work platforms such as scissor lifts to access high bays safely. I will assess access and floor conditions before starting work on site. ### Do old discharge lamps need special disposal? Discharge lamps and fluorescent tubes contain regulated materials and are removed and processed through accredited hazardous waste channels. ### Will replacing high bays affect other equipment on the board? No, replacing light fittings reduces electrical load on the specific lighting circuit without affecting other distribution board connections. ## Business facts - Based: 1 The Drove, Horton Heath, Eastleigh, SO50 7NX - Service area: Eastleigh, Whiteley and Segensworth, Chandler's Ford, Hedge End and Botley, Southampton and the docks - Hours: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri 09:00–17:00 - Phone: +447366896562 - Email: team@mci-electrical.co.uk - Years of experience: 17 - Pricing rules: Fixed wire testing is priced on the number of boards and circuits, not by the hour.; Emergency lighting is priced per light, and the three hour test is priced separately.; Repairs are priced item by item off the report, so you choose what to do and when.; Work outside your trading hours costs a different rate, and I tell you what it is before I set off.; Quotes are free, rescheduling is free, and there is no callout fee. ## Request a quote - [Start a request](https://mci-electrical.co.uk/#chat): Send the job details and postcode to MCI Electrical. ## Related pages - [LED lighting upgrade for offices](https://mci-electrical.co.uk/services/led-lighting-upgrade-offices): LED lighting upgrade for offices. - [Emergency lighting installation](https://mci-electrical.co.uk/services/emergency-lighting-installation): Emergency lighting installation. - [Fixed wire testing](https://mci-electrical.co.uk/services/fixed-wire-testing): Fixed wire testing and commercial EICR. - [Full sitemap](https://mci-electrical.co.uk/sitemap.md): Complete machine-readable page directory.
