Car park lighting in Shefford
What we do in Shefford: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Shefford 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 Shefford
Older columns in Shefford sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Footpaths from Shefford car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Our teams travel to Shefford from across Bedfordshire. Typical nearby jobs include Arlesey, Biggleswade and Letchworth Garden City, so we can often combine survey visits.
