Innerleithen FAQs

Do you remove the old fittings in Innerleithen?

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 Innerleithen?

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.

Can you work out of hours in Innerleithen?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Innerleithen offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

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.
