Car park lighting in County Antrim
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 County Antrim, including Belfast, Lisburn and Newtownabbey.
Car park lighting work in County Antrim
Footpaths from County Antrim car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Many car parks around County Antrim 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.
What's included
- Dimming and part-night control
- Structural and condition checks on old columns
- LED lantern replacements on existing columns
