Local car park lighting in Herne Bay
New columns in Herne Bay need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Many car parks around Herne Bay 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.
For Herne Bay premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
