Local external and security lighting in Ilkeston
Photocell and timer control lets Ilkeston premises keep routes lit when staff are around and dim later at night.
For Ilkeston sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
Our teams travel to Ilkeston from across Derbyshire. Typical nearby jobs include Eastwood, Heanor and Greasley, so we can often combine survey visits.
