Car park lighting in Macclesfield
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Macclesfield need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Macclesfield
Many car parks around Macclesfield 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 Macclesfield retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Macclesfield sits within Cheshire. We work throughout the SK11 and SK10 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Wilmslow, Poynton and Bramhall.
