Car park lighting in Isle of Rum
What we do in Isle of Rum: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Isle of Rum 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.

Older columns in Isle of Rum sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Footpaths from Isle of Rum car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
For Isle of Rum premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
We cover Isle of Rum by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
