About this lot

Discontinued anthracite up/down outdoor lights. Integrated LED, warm white. Located in Manchester — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 14 days ago by Manchester Greenfield Contractors, a contractor based in Manchester.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. As new surplus it is indistinguishable from merchant stock except for the price.

Condition report & known defects

10/10
  • Stored under cover since delivery; no weather exposure.
  • Sealed manufacturer packaging; one unit opened for the listing photos.

Carbon & sustainability notes

No reuse CO₂ credit is claimed on this lot: it is unused stock, so the embodied carbon was committed at manufacture. Buying it still prevents waste — material sent to landfill or energy recovery delivers none of its embodied value.

With Part Z and embodied-carbon reporting moving up the agenda, documented reuse like this is increasingly worth recording in your project's carbon log.

Collection & delivery

  • Collection from the seller's Manchester premises — telehandler on site, HGV access fine.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £75–£115 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Hospitality and retail feature lighting
  • Garden, outbuilding and security lighting
  • Full rewires and consumer unit upgrades
  • Commercial fit-outs (office panels, emergency lighting)

How to buy, collect and install this lot

  1. 1Confirm your requirement against the measurements above — bring a tape and the 20 fittings figure when you visit Manchester Greenfield Contractors in Manchester.
  2. 2Reserve the lot in writing with a deposit; get the batch/reference (L0719) and condition grade (10/10) on the receipt.
  3. 3Arrange transport: forklift loading available weekdays 7:30am–4pm. Confirm access at your delivery address (width, overhead clearance, forklift or hand-ball).
  4. 4On arrival, check the count against the 20 fittings stated and photograph any transit damage before signing the delivery note.
  5. 5Store correctly on site — for electrical, that means dry, level and off the ground; keep original packaging on until the day of use where possible.
  6. 6Dry-lay or trial-fit a small sample first to confirm electrical performs as expected in your specific application before committing the whole lot.
  7. 7Log the reuse for your project records: photograph the seller invoice, capture the ~0 kg CO₂e figure and save this listing URL in your embodied-carbon file.

Pre-purchase checklist

  • Measure twice — confirm 20 fittings covers your net requirement plus a 10% waste/cutting allowance.
  • View in person or request a video walkround from Manchester Greenfield Contractors; do not rely on the hero photograph alone.
  • Check condition against the 10/10 grade above — ask which specific defects apply to the units you'll actually receive.
  • Confirm the batch or shade reference (L0719) so what you inspect is what you collect.
  • Agree collection or delivery cost in writing — pallet, hiab, flatbed or hand-ball each price very differently.
  • Verify VAT position: is the £270/lot figure ex-VAT or inclusive? Trade sellers default to ex-VAT.
  • Ask about returns or replacements if the delivered quantity falls short — reputable contractors stand behind the stated count.
  • Screenshot this listing (title, price, condition, CO₂ figure) as your negotiation baseline — surplus prices drift as lots age.
  • Check compatibility if you're matching existing material (brick blend, tile shade, timber section) with a physical sample first.
  • Book collection or delivery within your reservation window — new surplus lots at this price rarely sit for long.

Price in context

  • At £270/lot, this lot sits roughly 29% below current UK merchant list for equivalent new material — the typical spread for new surplus electrical.
  • Delivered-to-door pricing (including pallet freight within ~57 miles of Manchester) tends to add £75–£100 to the headline figure; collection stays as advertised.
  • Comparable new surplus lots in the surplus electrical & lighting category have moved on SurplusBuilder within 4 days of listing — well-priced surplus doesn't linger.

Sustainability deep-dive

The headline saving on this listing (waste avoidance) is benchmarked against manufacturing new fittings and copper cable (copper ~4 kg CO₂e per kg; an LED panel ~25 kg CO₂e). That's the embodied-carbon figure — the emissions locked into new material at the point of manufacture, before it ever reaches your site.

In UK building terms, embodied carbon typically accounts for 40–60% of a project's whole-life emissions once operational energy is decarbonised. Reusing electrical like this lot from Manchester bypasses the manufacturing stage entirely, which is why substitution consistently outperforms offsetting on lifecycle assessments.

For projects tracking against Part Z (the proposed embodied-carbon amendment to the Building Regulations), BREEAM Mat 01 credits, or the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge, reused material counts at zero embodied carbon in the A1–A3 modules. Keep the seller invoice, this listing URL and the CO₂e figure together in your carbon file.

Beyond carbon: buying this lot from Manchester Greenfield Contractors keeps first-quality electrical out of the UK construction waste stream (currently ~62 million tonnes/year, per DEFRA). It supports the circular-economy supply chain — sellers who divert stock only continue diverting when there's a viable resale route.

Questions about this lot

Can surplus electrical gear be used in a certified install?+

Yes — new surplus carries the same markings and standards as merchant stock. Your electrician certifies the installation, not the purchase route.

Is part-used cable drum length guaranteed?+

The stated length is measured, not estimated — Manchester Greenfield Contractors re-measures drums on listing with a ±1m tolerance.

Are the LED fittings covered by warranty?+

End-of-line stock typically retains the manufacturer's product warranty from date of purchase — keep the invoice as proof.

What payment and paperwork should I expect from Manchester Greenfield Contractors?+

Manchester Greenfield Contractors issues a VAT invoice on collection or dispatch — bank transfer is standard, card on request. For anything over £500 we recommend a written spec confirmation before paying, so the exact electrical description and quantity are on record.

Can I reserve this lot while I organise transport from Manchester?+

A short reservation (typically 48–72 hours) is usually possible with a 10% holding deposit. Surplus stock moves quickly, especially new surplus lots at this price point — confirm the hold in writing so the seller doesn't re-list.

Is this suitable for a Part L / Part Z reporting project?+

The material itself carries the same certifications as merchant stock; document the reuse route in your carbon log even without a specific CO₂e figure — waste avoidance still counts under Part Z reporting guidance.
