Car park lighting in Killin
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in Killin sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Killin
Many car parks around Killin 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 Killin car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We cover the whole of Killin, including the FK21 postcode district, and nearby places such as Strathyre, Comrie and Killichonan.
