Car park lighting in Heriot
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Heriot and the Scottish Borders. We programme car park works in Heriot around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Heriot
Many car parks around Heriot 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 Heriot car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Heriot is a smaller town, covered by postcode district EH38. We regularly work across the Scottish Borders, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
