Local car park lighting in Melton Mowbray
Many car parks around Melton Mowbray 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.
Footpaths from Melton Mowbray car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Our teams travel to Melton Mowbray from across Leicestershire. Typical nearby jobs include Barkby, Hambleton and Mountsorrel, so we can often combine survey visits.
