Car park lighting in New Quay
What we do in New Quay: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from New Quay car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.

Local car park lighting in New Quay
Many car parks around New Quay 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 New Quay retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Our teams travel to New Quay from across Dyfed. Typical nearby jobs include Llanarth, Aberaeron and Troedyraur, so we can often combine survey visits.

New Quay FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Can you work out of hours in New Quay?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for New Quay offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Which rules apply to lighting work in New Quay?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Can you reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
