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

Older columns in Cranbrook sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
New columns in Cranbrook need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Our teams travel to Cranbrook from across Kent. Typical nearby jobs include Four Throws, Yalding and Tenterden, so we can often combine survey visits.
