Car park lighting in Fife
Car park lighting is the lighting of parking areas, access roads and footpaths, usually with LED lanterns on columns or wall-mounted floodlights. We cover Fife, including Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes.
Car park lighting work in Fife
Many car parks around Fife 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 Fife need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
What's included
- Testing and certification
- New columns with foundations, ducts and cabling
- Bollards for footpaths
- LED lantern replacements on existing columns

Car park lighting FAQs for Fife
How are prices set in Fife?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Fife?
Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the efficiency that new lighting in Fife must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Can car park lighting be dimmed overnight?
Yes. LED lanterns can be dimmed or switched to a lower level in the small hours, often with presence override.
Can you reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
