Car park lighting in Carlton
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Carlton around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Carlton
Many car parks around Carlton 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.
New columns in Carlton need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
We cover the whole of Carlton, including the NG4, NG3 and NG1 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Arnold, Nottingham and West Bridgford.
