Car park lighting in Yealmpton
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Yealmpton 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.
Local car park lighting in Yealmpton
We programme car park works in Yealmpton around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Footpaths from Yealmpton car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We cover the whole of Yealmpton, including the PL8, PL9 and PL7 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Plymstock, Plympton and Ivybridge.
