Local external and security lighting in Dingwall
Business units in Dingwall often have old SON floodlights over the yard and halogen bulkheads by the doors. LED replacements use far less power and come on instantly.
On Dingwall estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
We cover the whole of Dingwall, including the IV15 and IV7 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Strathpeffer, Muir of Ord and Evanton.
We cover Dingwall 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.

Who does the work in Dingwall?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
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.
