Car park lighting in Cambridge
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Cambridge need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Cambridge
For Cambridge retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Many car parks around Cambridge 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.
Our teams travel to Cambridge from across Cambridgeshire. Typical nearby jobs include Great Shelford, Impington and Fulbourn, so we can often combine survey visits.

Cambridge FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Cambridge?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Cambridge offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
How quickly can you survey in Cambridge?
Most surveys in Cambridge 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 Cambridge?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
