LED Lighting has many advantages over other forms of lighting in most circumstances.

It is very low energy and good quality LEDs should have a life time of 10 to 15 years.

In our Local Matters community space we sell a range of LEDs at a competitive price. If we don’t have want you want we can make enquiries to source them for you.

We’re open from 11:00 to 13:00 from Mon. to Sat. or you could call us to make an appointment on 0800-233-5414 or email hello@tamarenergycommunity.com.

Tamar Energy Community and our partners have some very broad eligibility requirements.

We want to be able to help as many people as we can by extending the service to anyone that either is already in, or is at risk of falling into fuel poverty.

It is open to all types of householders – homeowners, private renters and social housing tenants.
