Car park lighting in Upper Norwood
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Upper 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.
Local car park lighting in Upper Norwood
Footpaths from Upper Norwood car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Older columns in Upper Norwood sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
For Upper Norwood premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
