Car park lighting in March
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in March around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in March
Footpaths from March car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
For March retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
March sits within Cambridgeshire. We work throughout the PE15 postcode district and surrounding places, including Chatteris, Emneth and Primrose Place.
