Local external and security lighting in Heriot
Business units in Heriot 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 Heriot sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.

Heriot FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Heriot?
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.
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.
Who does the work in Heriot?
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.
