Car park lighting in Dowland
What we do in Dowland: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Dowland car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.

For Dowland retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Older columns in Dowland sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Dowland is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district EX19. We regularly work across Devon, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Dowland FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Dowland?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
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.
Do you remove the old fittings in Dowland?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
