Car park lighting in Ayr
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Ayr need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Ayr
Many car parks around Ayr 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.
For Ayr retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Our teams travel to Ayr from across Ayrshire. Typical nearby jobs include Prestwick, Troon and Gatehead, so we can often combine survey visits.

Ayr FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Ayr?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Ayr?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you cover all of Ayr?
Yes. We work across Ayr and the KA8, KA7 and KA9 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Prestwick, Troon and Gatehead.
Can you reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
