Car park lighting in Wareham
What we do in Wareham: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Wareham 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.

For Wareham retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
We programme car park works in Wareham around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Our teams travel to Wareham from across Dorset. Typical nearby jobs include Upton, Poole and Swanage, so we can often combine survey visits.
