External and security lighting in Ipswich
What we do in Ipswich: wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. Photocell and timer control lets Ipswich premises keep routes lit when staff are around and dim later at night.
Local external and security lighting in Ipswich
Fire exit doors in Ipswich buildings need a light outside so people can see the way to a place of safety.
For Ipswich sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
Our teams travel to Ipswich from across Suffolk. Typical nearby jobs include Sproughton, Kesgrave and Holbrook, so we can often combine survey visits.

Ipswich FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Ipswich?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
How quickly can you survey in Ipswich?
Most surveys in Ipswich 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 Ipswich?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can lighting help our CCTV?
Yes. Even, well-aimed white light with good colour rendering gives cameras clearer images than patchy, glaring lights.
