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

Older columns in Humbie sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
We programme car park works in Humbie around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Our teams travel to Humbie from across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Typical nearby jobs include Pencaitland, Pathhead and Ormiston, so we can often combine survey visits.
