Car park lighting in Dunblane
What we do in Dunblane: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Dunblane 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.
Local car park lighting in Dunblane
New columns in Dunblane need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Footpaths from Dunblane car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Dunblane sits within Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannanshire. We work throughout the FK15, FK9 and FK16 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Bridge of Allan, Doune and Stirling.
