Car park lighting in Clifton
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in Clifton sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Clifton
Many car parks around Clifton 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.
We programme car park works in Clifton around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
For Clifton premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
