Car park lighting in Gairloch
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Gairloch around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Gairloch
Many car parks around Gairloch 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.
Footpaths from Gairloch car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
For Gairloch premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
We cover Gairloch by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
