Local car park lighting in Plympton
For Plympton retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Many car parks around Plympton 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 Plympton, including the PL7, PL9 and PL3 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Plymstock, Yealmpton and Plymouth.
