Car park lighting in Pathhead
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Pathhead 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 Pathhead
We programme car park works in Pathhead around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
For Pathhead retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
We cover the whole of Pathhead, including the EH37, EH35 and EH23 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Ormiston, Arniston and Humbie.
