Car park lighting in Linlithgow
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Linlithgow need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Linlithgow
Many car parks around Linlithgow still use sodium lanterns on columns that are structurally fine. Swapping just the heads for LED gives whiter, more even light for much less power.
For Linlithgow retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Our teams travel to Linlithgow from across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Typical nearby jobs include Bo'ness, Polmont and Grangemouth, so we can often combine survey visits.

Linlithgow FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you remove the old fittings in Linlithgow?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Linlithgow?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Can you reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
