Car park lighting in Kilmarnock
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Kilmarnock 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.
Local car park lighting in Kilmarnock
We programme car park works in Kilmarnock around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Footpaths from Kilmarnock car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We cover the whole of Kilmarnock, including the KA1, KA3 and KA2 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Gatehead, Galston and Stewarton.
