Local car park lighting in West Calder
Many car parks around West Calder 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.
New columns in West Calder need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
West Calder sits within Edinburgh and the Lothians. We work throughout the EH55, EH54 and EH47 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Livingston, Whitburn and Bathgate.
