Car park lighting in Shadforth
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Shadforth and County Durham. We programme car park works in Shadforth around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Shadforth
Many car parks around Shadforth 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 Shadforth need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
For Shadforth premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
