Car park lighting in Banchory
What we do in Banchory: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Banchory 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.

New columns in Banchory need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Older columns in Banchory sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
For Banchory premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
