Car park lighting in East Kilbride
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in East Kilbride sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in East Kilbride
Many car parks around East Kilbride 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.
New columns in East Kilbride need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Our teams travel to East Kilbride from across Lanarkshire. Typical nearby jobs include Cambuslang, Blantyre and Clarkston, so we can often combine survey visits.
