Car park lighting in Ystrad
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Ystrad around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Ystrad
Footpaths from Ystrad car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Many car parks around Ystrad 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.
Our teams travel to Ystrad from across Mid Glamorgan. Typical nearby jobs include Rhondda, Tonypandy and Treorchy, so we can often combine survey visits.
