Car park lighting in Rame
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Rame 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 Rame retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
New columns in Rame need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
For Rame premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
