Car park lighting in Cornwall
Car park lighting is the lighting of parking areas, access roads and footpaths, usually with LED lanterns on columns or wall-mounted floodlights. We cover Cornwall, including Redruth, Falmouth and St Austell.
Car park lighting work in Cornwall
Footpaths from Cornwall car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
New columns in Cornwall need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
What's included
- Dimming and part-night control
- Structural and condition checks on old columns
- Testing and certification
- LED lantern replacements on existing columns

External lighting in Cornwall is designed to light the task without spilling into neighbouring windows or the night sky, and new installations still need to meet Approved Document L where it applies.

Car park lighting FAQs for Cornwall
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Cornwall?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Cornwall must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Which towns in Cornwall do you cover?
All of Cornwall, including Redruth, Falmouth and St Austell. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
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.
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.
