In short: wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. Many Leith businesses combine external lighting with car park and yard upgrades in a single visit.
Local external and security lighting in Leith
For Leith sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
Business units in Leith often have old SON floodlights over the yard and halogen bulkheads by the doors. LED replacements use far less power and come on instantly.
Our teams travel to Leith from across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Typical nearby jobs include Granton and Trinity, Edinburgh and Portobello, so we can often combine survey visits.
