External and security lighting in Bude
What we do in Bude: wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. Fire exit doors in Bude buildings need a light outside so people can see the way to a place of safety.
Local external and security lighting in Bude
For Bude sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
Photocell and timer control lets Bude premises keep routes lit when staff are around and dim later at night.
Our teams travel to Bude from across Cornwall. Typical nearby jobs include Holsworthy Hamlets, Forrabury and Minster and Black Torrington, so we can often combine survey visits.
