External and security lighting in Pitlochry
In short: wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. For Pitlochry sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
Local external and security lighting in Pitlochry
Many Pitlochry businesses combine external lighting with car park and yard upgrades in a single visit.
On Pitlochry estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
Pitlochry is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts PH16 and PH9. We regularly work across Perth and Kinross, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Pitlochry FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you remove the old fittings in Pitlochry?
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 Pitlochry?
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.
