Other lighting
services
If you need it lit, we can help. We won’t needlessly charge you for help, we will work with you to explore the issues and how we can add value to the projects you’re working on. Don’t worry though, if we can’t help, we will always be honest with you. The best thing to do is get in touch, but if you want to look around our site first below are some of the other lighting services we offer to our clients.
S278/S38 LIGHTING DESIGN
This is our bread and butter, where we can really show our value. Yes, we will charge you a nominal fee for the design, and yes others may offer you a design for free. But we are impartial, and our value comes from saving you money. To achieve this, we only put lighting where lighting is needed and often by saving just one or two columns the install cost covers the cost of our fee.
HIGHWAYS INFRASTRUCTURE
No job too big. Large complex highway infrastructure projects, no problem. We are the lighting specialist, and we can back that up with specialist highway electrical design too. We have over 20 years’ experience working on major networks such as the M25 and A303, M2 A47 and many more. We seamlessly integrate with our client teams to deliver cutting edge smart lighting solutions.
PUBLIC REALM
Let’s make it shine! This is where we can get really creative. Lighting in the public realm can transform spaces into centrepieces. We have worked on many schemes where we have taken public spaces and designed a lighting scheme to create a night-time attraction, bringing with it benefits for the local economy. This can be dancing light or even lighting that tells a story. We have done this for some of the busiest shopping streets in the UK right through to market squares that have a real community focus.
