Scots Football Club Lighting

When Scots Football Club needed their 25-metre field lighting fixtures serviced and upgraded to competition standards, they faced the challenge of finding electricians capable of safely working at these heights while meeting specific lux requirements for competitive play. Our Level 2 certified team deployed an 80-foot boom lift and implemented comprehensive height safety protocols to access and service these fixtures. We didn't just repair the lights—we recalibrated the angles for optimal field coverage, replaced outdated components with energy-efficient alternatives, and verified performance against the standards of the relevant sporting association. Our expertise in sports lighting maintenance and high-risk work at significant heights enabled us to restore optimal lighting conditions while reducing energy consumption, all while achieving zero safety incidents despite the challenging work environment.
