Car park lighting in Antrim
What we do in Antrim: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around 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.
Local car park lighting in Antrim
For Antrim retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Footpaths from Antrim car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Antrim is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode district BT41. We regularly work across County Antrim, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
