Car park lighting in Gatehead
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Gatehead and Ayrshire. We programme car park works in Gatehead around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.

Local car park lighting in Gatehead
Many car parks around Gatehead 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 Gatehead retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Gatehead sits within Ayrshire. We work throughout the KA2, KA1 and KA11 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Kilmarnock, Irvine and Troon.
