Car park lighting in Holywood
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. For Holywood retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Local car park lighting in Holywood
Many car parks around Holywood 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.
Footpaths from Holywood car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Holywood is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts BT18, BT4 and BT3. We regularly work across County Down, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
