Car park lighting in Larkhall
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. For Larkhall retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Local car park lighting in Larkhall
We programme car park works in Larkhall around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Many car parks around Larkhall 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.
We cover the whole of Larkhall, including the ML9, ML2 and ML3 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Wishaw, Hamilton and Motherwell.
