Car park lighting in Wishaw
What we do in Wishaw: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Wishaw 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.
Local car park lighting in Wishaw
Footpaths from Wishaw car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Older columns in Wishaw sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Wishaw sits within Lanarkshire. We work throughout the ML2, ML1 and ML9 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Larkhall, Motherwell and Carluke.
