Car park lighting in Barkby
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Barkby and Leicestershire. We programme car park works in Barkby around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Barkby
New columns in Barkby need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Many car parks around Barkby 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.
Barkby sits within Leicestershire. We work throughout the LE7, LE4 and LE5 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Humberstone, Leicester and Mountsorrel.
