Car park lighting in Duston
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Duston around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Duston
Many car parks around Duston 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.
For Duston retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
For Duston premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
