Car park lighting in Carluke
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. For Carluke retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Local car park lighting in Carluke
Footpaths from Carluke car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Many car parks around Carluke 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.
Our teams travel to Carluke from across Lanarkshire. Typical nearby jobs include Wishaw, Lanark and Larkhall, so we can often combine survey visits.
