Car park lighting in Lower Hardres
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Lower Hardres need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Lower Hardres
Many car parks around Lower Hardres 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.
Footpaths from Lower Hardres car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Lower Hardres sits within Kent. We work throughout the CT4 and CT1 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Canterbury, Wingham and Wye.
