Car park lighting work in Rutland
Many car parks around Rutland 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.
Footpaths from Rutland car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
What's included
- Testing and certification
- LED lantern replacements on existing columns
