Local car park lighting in Swanley

Many car parks around Swanley 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 Swanley retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.

Our teams travel to Swanley from across Kent. Typical nearby jobs include Horton Kirby, Bexley and Orpington, so we can often combine survey visits.
