Car park lighting in Chislehurst
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Chislehurst around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Chislehurst
Older columns in Chislehurst sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Many car parks around Chislehurst 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.
Our teams travel to Chislehurst from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Eltham, Orpington and Hayes, so we can often combine survey visits.
