Car park lighting in Kidlington
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Kidlington and Oxfordshire. Older columns in Kidlington sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Kidlington
Many car parks around Kidlington 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.
For Kidlington retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Kidlington sits within Oxfordshire. We work throughout the OX5 and OX20 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Woodstock, Oxford and Chesterton.
