Car park lighting in Yate
What we do in Yate: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Yate 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 Yate
Footpaths from Yate car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
For Yate retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
For Yate premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
