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