Car park lighting in Wokingham
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Wokingham around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Wokingham
Many car parks around Wokingham 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.
New columns in Wokingham need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Wokingham sits within Berkshire. We work throughout the RG40, RG41 and RG45 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Crowthorne, Bracknell and Lower Earley.
