Local car park lighting in Abingdon
Many car parks around Abingdon 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.
Older columns in Abingdon sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
We cover the whole of Abingdon, including the OX14 and OX13 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Marcham, Didcot and Cowley.
