In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in Blackford sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Blackford
Many car parks around Blackford 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 Blackford need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Blackford is a local centre, covered by postcode districts PH4 and PH3. We regularly work across Perth and Kinross, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
