Car park lighting in Whitburn
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Whitburn and Edinburgh and the Lothians. We programme car park works in Whitburn around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Whitburn
Many car parks around Whitburn 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 Whitburn need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
We cover the whole of Whitburn, including the EH47 and EH48 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Armadale, Bathgate and West Calder.
