Car park lighting in Swinton
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Swinton car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.

Local car park lighting in Swinton
Many car parks around Swinton 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.
For Swinton retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
For Swinton premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
