External and security lighting FAQs for Ayrshire
How are prices set in Ayrshire?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
Which towns in Ayrshire do you cover?
All of Ayrshire, including Kilmarnock, Ayr and Irvine. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
Should external lights be on all night?
Not necessarily. Photocells with timers or presence sensors can keep routes lit when people are around and dim or switch off later, saving energy and reducing light spill.
Can lighting help our CCTV?
Yes. Even, well-aimed white light with good colour rendering gives cameras clearer images than patchy, glaring lights.
