Car park lighting in Linwood
What we do in Linwood: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Linwood 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.
Local car park lighting in Linwood
Footpaths from Linwood car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We programme car park works in Linwood around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Linwood sits within Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. We work throughout the PA5, PA3 and PA6 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Johnstone, Paisley and Howwood.
