Car park lighting in South Norwood
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from South Norwood car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in South Norwood
For South Norwood retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Many car parks around South Norwood 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.

South Norwood FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in South Norwood?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you remove the old fittings in South Norwood?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can you reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
