Local car park lighting in Coniston
For Coniston retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Many car parks around Coniston 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.
Our teams travel to Coniston from across Cumbria. Typical nearby jobs include Lakes, Windermere and Broughton West, so we can often combine survey visits.
