Car park lighting in Brighton
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Brighton and East Sussex. New columns in Brighton need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Brighton
Older columns in Brighton sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Many car parks around Brighton 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.
Brighton is a major centre for offices, retail and industry, covered by postcode districts BN1, BN3 and BN2. We regularly work across East Sussex, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Brighton FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Brighton?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you cover all of Brighton?
Yes. We work across Brighton and the BN1, BN3 and BN2 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Hove, Portslade and Rottingdean.
How quickly can you survey in Brighton?
Most surveys in Brighton can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
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.
