Car park lighting in Southend-on-Sea
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Southend-on-Sea need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Southend-on-Sea
We programme car park works in Southend-on-Sea around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Many car parks around Southend-on-Sea 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.
We cover the whole of Southend-on-Sea, including the SS1, SS2 and SS0 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Rochford, Hadleigh and Hockley.
