Local car park lighting in Whittingham
Footpaths from Whittingham car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Many car parks around Whittingham 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.
For Whittingham premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
