Car park lighting in Peterhead
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Peterhead car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in Peterhead
Many car parks around Peterhead 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.
Older columns in Peterhead sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
