Car park lighting in Forres
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Forres and Moray. Older columns in Forres sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Forres
New columns in Forres need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Many car parks around Forres 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.
Forres sits within Moray. We work throughout the IV36 postcode district and surrounding places, including Nairn, Elgin and Lossiemouth.
We cover Forres 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.
