Car park lighting in Newtownards
What we do in Newtownards: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Newtownards 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 Newtownards
New columns in Newtownards need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
For Newtownards retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
We cover the whole of Newtownards, including the BT23, BT19 and BT16 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Comber, Dundonald and Bangor.
