Car park lighting in Allington
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Allington need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Allington
Many car parks around Allington 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.
Footpaths from Allington car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We cover the whole of Allington, including the DT6 postcode district, and nearby places such as Beaminster, Lyme Regis and Crewkerne.
