Car park lighting in Newhaven
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in Newhaven sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.

Local car park lighting in Newhaven
Many car parks around Newhaven 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 Newhaven car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
For Newhaven premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
