Car park lighting in Lakes
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Lakes and Cumbria. Older columns in Lakes sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Lakes
Many car parks around Lakes 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.
We programme car park works in Lakes around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Lakes is a local centre, covered by postcode district LA22. We regularly work across Cumbria, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
