School and education lighting work in the Isle of Wight
Schools in Isle of Wight are often lit for long days plus evening lettings, so LED and corridor sensors pay back faster than in many offices.
We plan Isle of Wight school projects around half-terms and the summer holiday, with sports halls and corridors first.
We cover the Isle of Wight by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Isle of Wight, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
