External and security lighting in Lerwick
In short: wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. On Lerwick 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 Lerwick
Business units in Lerwick often have old SON floodlights over the yard and halogen bulkheads by the doors. LED replacements use far less power and come on instantly.
For Lerwick sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
Lerwick is a local centre, covered by postcode district ZE1. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Lerwick 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.
