Car park lighting in Falkirk
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Falkirk 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 Falkirk
Footpaths from Falkirk car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We programme car park works in Falkirk around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
