Car park lighting in Alford
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Alford and Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Older columns in Alford sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Alford
New columns in Alford need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Many car parks around Alford still use sodium lanterns on columns that are structurally fine. Swapping just the heads for LED gives whiter, more even light for much less power.
Alford is a local centre, covered by postcode district AB33. We regularly work across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
