Car park lighting in Risca
What we do in Risca: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. For Risca retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Local car park lighting in Risca
We programme car park works in Risca around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Many car parks around Risca 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.
We cover the whole of Risca, including the NP11, NP10 and NP20 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Abercarn, Graig and Newport.
