External and security lighting in Torquay
In short: wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. On Torquay 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 Torquay
Fire exit doors in Torquay buildings need a light outside so people can see the way to a place of safety.
For Torquay sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
Our teams travel to Torquay from across Devon. Typical nearby jobs include Paignton, Brixham and Newton Abbot, so we can often combine survey visits.
