Car park lighting in St Austell
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in St Austell around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in St Austell
For St Austell retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Many car parks around St Austell 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.
We cover the whole of St Austell, including the PL25, PL26 and PL24 postcode districts, and nearby places such as St Mewan, St Blaise and Fowey.
