Car park lighting in Ampthill
What we do in Ampthill: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Ampthill car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in Ampthill
For Ampthill retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Many car parks around Ampthill 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 Ampthill premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Ampthill FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Ampthill?
Most surveys in Ampthill can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do you remove the old fittings in Ampthill?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
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.
