Local car park lighting in Pickering
Many car parks around Pickering 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.
Older columns in Pickering sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Pickering is a smaller town, covered by postcode district YO18. We regularly work across North Yorkshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
