Car park lighting in Deal
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in Deal sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Deal
Many car parks around Deal 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.
New columns in Deal need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
For Deal premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
