External and security lighting in Toab
In short: wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. For Toab sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
Local external and security lighting in Toab
On Toab estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
Fire exit doors in Toab buildings need a light outside so people can see the way to a place of safety.
Toab sits within the Highlands and Islands. We work throughout the ZE3 postcode district and surrounding places, including Lerwick.
We cover Toab 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.

Toab FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Toab?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Toab offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
How quickly can you survey in Toab?
Most surveys in Toab 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 Toab?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
