Car park lighting in Abbey Wood
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in Abbey Wood sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Abbey Wood
We programme car park works in Abbey Wood around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Many car parks around Abbey Wood 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.
For Abbey Wood premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
