Car park lighting in Purley
What we do in Purley: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Purley 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 Purley
Footpaths from Purley car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Older columns in Purley sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Purley sits within Greater London. We work throughout the CR8, CR2 and CR5 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Coulsdon, South Croydon and Wallington.
