Car park lighting in Hereford
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Hereford around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Hereford
Many car parks around Hereford 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.
For Hereford retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
We cover the whole of Hereford, including the HR1 and HR4 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Hampton Bishop, Burghill and Allensmore.
