Car park lighting in Heavitree
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Heavitree around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Heavitree
For Heavitree retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Many car parks around Heavitree 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 cover the whole of Heavitree, including the EX1, EX2 and EX4 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Exeter, Broad Clyst and Doddiscombsleigh.
