Car park lighting in South Brent
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in South Brent need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in South Brent
Footpaths from South Brent car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Many car parks around South Brent 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.
South Brent sits within Devon. We work throughout the TQ10 and TQ11 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Buckfast, Ivybridge and Totnes.
