Car park lighting in Smarden
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Smarden around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Smarden
Footpaths from Smarden car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Many car parks around Smarden 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 Smarden premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
