Car park lighting in Belfast
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Belfast around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Belfast
Many car parks around Belfast 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.
New columns in Belfast need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Our teams travel to Belfast from across County Antrim. Typical nearby jobs include Newtownabbey, Holywood and Dunmurry, so we can often combine survey visits.

Belfast FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Belfast?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. For new lighting, Technical Booklet F2 sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Can you work out of hours in Belfast?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Belfast offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
What do new lighting columns cost?
As a budget, a 6 m column with an LED lantern, foundation and a moderate cable run is around £800–£1,500 each, excluding VAT. Difficult ground, reinstatement or a new supply can increase this.
