Car park lighting in Carlisle
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. For Carlisle retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Local car park lighting in Carlisle
Many car parks around Carlisle 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.
Older columns in Carlisle sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Our teams travel to Carlisle from across Cumbria. Typical nearby jobs include Orton, Wetheral and Kirklinton, so we can often combine survey visits.
