Car park lighting in Brackley
What we do in Brackley: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Brackley 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.
Local car park lighting in Brackley
For Brackley retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Footpaths from Brackley car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
For Brackley premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
