Car park lighting in Balsham
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in Balsham sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Balsham
Many car parks around Balsham 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 Balsham retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
