MacLean Electrical's services include street lighting.
It is not to be lights out in the Outer Hebrides from next month (May) after a beleaguered council found it would cost more to turn them off than it would save.
Western Isles Council examined the impact of turning off the lights from May to October as part of an overall package of £8.5m of savings.
A report to councillors said the estimated gross saving of switching off street lights in Stornoway alone was £3,404.
But the cost of implementing the change was put at £4,800.
The council currently has a total of 6,744 street lighting units across the Western Isles.
Of the total, 1,483 units are in Stornoway and which are lit from dusk to dawn throughout the year. The remaining units are generally lit from dusk until 11pm and from 6.30am to dawn.
The report states: “As a result of the very short time that street lights outwith Stornoway are lit during summer months and the costs associated with switching the significant number of control units across the islands, it is clear that there would be no net saving from the switching off of street lights outwith Stornoway”.
Cash-strapped council to leave street lights on… Because it would cost more to switch them off
