Car park lighting in Locks Heath
What we do in Locks Heath: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Locks Heath 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.
