Spot the Difference

Updated: Sep 18
We frequently get asked about the practical differences between traditional fluorescent tube stair lights and modern LED alternatives in Edinburgh tenement stairwells.
Traditional fluorescent fittings rely on aging ballasts and starter switches that wear out quickly, flicker, hum, and consume high amounts of energy. In contrast, modern Coughtrie LED fittings deliver instant, bright, and flicker-free illumination across all floors while significantly reducing shared energy bills.
Key advantages of making the switch:
Long-Term Reliability: Our gold-standard Coughtrie LED stair lights come with a 5-year guarantee, giving residents peace of mind against frequent component failures.
Superior Efficiency: LED conversions cut energy consumption drastically compared to outdated fluorescent tubes.
Reduced Maintenance: No more dealing with humming ballasts, flickering tubes, or frequent lamp replacements.
