Car park lighting in Greenlaw
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Greenlaw and the Scottish Borders. We programme car park works in Greenlaw around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Greenlaw
Many car parks around Greenlaw 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.
Older columns in Greenlaw sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Our teams travel to Greenlaw from across the Scottish Borders. Typical nearby jobs include Duns, Kelso and Cornhill-on-Tweed, so we can often combine survey visits.
