Car park lighting in Grangemouth
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in Grangemouth sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Grangemouth
Many car parks around Grangemouth 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.
Footpaths from Grangemouth car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We cover the whole of Grangemouth, including the FK3, FK2 and FK1 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Polmont, Falkirk and Stenhousemuir.
