External and security lighting FAQs for the Isle of Wight
How are prices set in the Isle of Wight?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
Which towns in the Isle of Wight do you cover?
All of the Isle of Wight, including Newport, Ryde and Cowes. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
Can lighting help our CCTV?
Yes. Even, well-aimed white light with good colour rendering gives cameras clearer images than patchy, glaring lights.
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.
