Car park lighting in Porthmadog
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Porthmadog car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in Porthmadog
Many car parks around Porthmadog 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.
Older columns in Porthmadog sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Porthmadog sits within Gwynedd. We work throughout the LL49, LL48 and LL47 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Penrhyndeudraeth, Talsarnau and Criccieth.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Porthmadog?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Can you reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
