External and security lighting in Glasgow
What we do in Glasgow: wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. Business units in Glasgow often have old SON floodlights over the yard and halogen bulkheads by the doors. LED replacements use far less power and come on instantly.
Local external and security lighting in Glasgow
On Glasgow estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
For Glasgow sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
We cover the whole of Glasgow, including the G2, G4 and G1 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Rutherglen, Bishopbriggs and Giffnock.
