Car park lighting in Grays
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in Grays sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Grays
We programme car park works in Grays around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Many car parks around Grays 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.
Grays is one of the larger places we cover, covered by postcode districts RM17, RM16 and RM20. We regularly work across Essex, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
