LED lights are generally considered better than incandescent bulbs for several reasons. They are much more energy-efficient, using up to 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs for the same amount of light. They also last significantly longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Additionally, LED lights produce less heat and are more environmentally friendly.

There is no set time for this, old wiring doesn’t necessarily mean unsafe wiring. There are lots of factors that can affect the speed of wear and tear on your wiring, from usage of your electrical system to the part and materials used to make it. 

Though there is no set time to rewire a property, it is recommended that an inspection be carried out every 10 years (or 5 years for residential or commercial rental properties). This test will let you know if the property needs to be rewired.

The law requires that all business owners, their directors, managers and employees comply with “The Electricity at Work Regulations”. The law requires that all electrical systems must be maintained to be safe at all times and that no system or part of it may give rise to danger during either normal operation or under fault conditions.

Test reports, together with other preventative maintenance documentation will form the basis of proof that you have done this and will provide your best defence against prosecution should the need arise. Business duty holders are responsible for setting up adequate maintenance programs and must assess the needs and frequency requirement of testing, maintaining and monitoring electrical systems and equipment.
