Local external and security lighting in Bathgate
For Bathgate sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
On Bathgate estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
Bathgate sits within Edinburgh and the Lothians. We work throughout the EH48 and EH47 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Armadale, Whitburn and West Calder.

Bathgate FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Bathgate?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How quickly can you survey in Bathgate?
Most surveys in Bathgate can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Bathgate?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Can lighting help our CCTV?
Yes. Even, well-aimed white light with good colour rendering gives cameras clearer images than patchy, glaring lights.
