Local car park lighting in St Helens
For St Helens retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Many car parks around St Helens 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.
We cover the whole of St Helens, including the WA10, WA9 and WA11 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Haydock, Prescot and Ashton in Makerfield.
