External and security lighting in Alford
In short: wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. On Alford estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
Local external and security lighting in Alford
For Alford sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
Many Alford businesses combine external lighting with car park and yard upgrades in a single visit.
Our teams travel to Alford from across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Typical nearby jobs include Aboyne, Insch and Strathdon, so we can often combine survey visits.
