Car park lighting in Hawarden
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Hawarden 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 Hawarden
Footpaths from Hawarden car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Older columns in Hawarden sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
For Hawarden premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
