Car park lighting in Newport
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Newport around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Newport
New columns in Newport need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Many car parks around Newport 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.
Newport is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts PO30, PO32 and PO31. We regularly work across the Isle of Wight, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
