Car park lighting work in Moray
Footpaths from Moray car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Many car parks around Moray 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 Moray by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in Moray, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
