Car park lighting in Sedgefield
What we do in Sedgefield: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Sedgefield 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 Sedgefield
New columns in Sedgefield need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Footpaths from Sedgefield car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Sedgefield sits within County Durham. We work throughout the TS21 postcode district and surrounding places, including Trindon, Trimdon and Stockton-on-Tees.
