Car park lighting in Derby
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Derby car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.

Local car park lighting in Derby
New columns in Derby need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
For Derby retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.

Derby FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Derby?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover all of Derby?
Yes. We work across Derby and the DE1, DE22 and DE23 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Mickleover, Sinfin and Draycott.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Can you reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
