Local car park lighting in Barnes
Footpaths from Barnes car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Many car parks around Barnes 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 Barnes premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
