Car park lighting in Gwent
Car park lighting is the lighting of parking areas, access roads and footpaths, usually with LED lanterns on columns or wall-mounted floodlights. We cover Gwent, including Newport, Cwmbran and Pontypool.
Car park lighting work in Gwent
New columns in Gwent need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Many car parks around Gwent 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.
What's included
- LED lantern replacements on existing columns
- Structural and condition checks on old columns
- Dimming and part-night control
- Bollards for footpaths
