Local external and security lighting in Arisaig
For Arisaig sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
Many Arisaig businesses combine external lighting with car park and yard upgrades in a single visit.
We cover the whole of Arisaig, including the PH39 and PH40 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Mallaig, Isle of Eigg and Kentra.
We cover Arisaig by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.

Arisaig FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Arisaig?
Most surveys in Arisaig 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.
Do you remove the old fittings in Arisaig?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Arisaig?
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.
Should external lights be on all night?
Not necessarily. Photocells with timers or presence sensors can keep routes lit when people are around and dim or switch off later, saving energy and reducing light spill.
