Car park lighting in Ventnor
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Ventnor car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in Ventnor
For Ventnor retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Many car parks around Ventnor 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.
Ventnor is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts PO38 and PO37. We regularly work across the Isle of Wight, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Ventnor by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Isle of Wight, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.

Ventnor FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Ventnor?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you remove the old fittings in Ventnor?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
