Local car park lighting in Didcot
For Didcot retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Many car parks around Didcot 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.
Our teams travel to Didcot from across Oxfordshire. Typical nearby jobs include Abingdon, Wallingford and Marcham, so we can often combine survey visits.
