Car park lighting in Eccles
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Eccles 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 Eccles
Footpaths from Eccles car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
For Eccles retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
We cover the whole of Eccles, including the M30, M17 and M6 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Swinton, Salford and Stretford.
