Car park lighting in Hove
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Hove 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 Hove
We programme car park works in Hove around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Older columns in Hove sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Our teams travel to Hove from across East Sussex. Typical nearby jobs include Brighton, Portslade and Newtimber, so we can often combine survey visits.
