Car park lighting in Luton
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. For Luton retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Local car park lighting in Luton
We programme car park works in Luton around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Many car parks around Luton 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.
Luton sits within Bedfordshire. We work throughout the LU1, LU2 and LU3 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Dunstable, Thorn and Harpenden.
