Car park lighting in Widnes
What we do in Widnes: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Widnes 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.
Local car park lighting in Widnes
We programme car park works in Widnes around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Footpaths from Widnes car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Widnes sits within Cheshire. We work throughout the WA8, WA7 and L26 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Runcorn, Halewood and Great Sankey.

Widnes FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Widnes?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you remove the old fittings in Widnes?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Can car park lighting be dimmed overnight?
Yes. LED lanterns can be dimmed or switched to a lower level in the small hours, often with presence override.
