Car park lighting in Caerphilly
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Caerphilly 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 Caerphilly
We programme car park works in Caerphilly around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Footpaths from Caerphilly car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We cover the whole of Caerphilly, including the CF83, CF15 and CF14 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Pentyrch, Rhiwbina and Llantwit Fardre.
