Car park lighting in Wollaston
What we do in Wollaston: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Wollaston 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 Wollaston
New columns in Wollaston need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Footpaths from Wollaston car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
For Wollaston premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
