Car park lighting in Salterforth
What we do in Salterforth: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Salterforth 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 Salterforth
We programme car park works in Salterforth around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
For Salterforth retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
We cover the whole of Salterforth, including the BB18 and BB8 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Colne, Nelson and Thorlby.
