Car park lighting in Portadown
What we do in Portadown: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. For Portadown retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Local car park lighting in Portadown
Many car parks around Portadown 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 programme car park works in Portadown around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Portadown is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts BT62, BT63 and BT64. We regularly work across County Armagh, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
