Car park lighting in Shropshire
Car park lighting is the lighting of parking areas, access roads and footpaths, usually with LED lanterns on columns or wall-mounted floodlights. We cover Shropshire, including Telford, Shrewsbury and Loughton.
Car park lighting work in Shropshire
Many car parks around Shropshire 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.
We programme car park works in Shropshire around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
What's included
- Testing and certification
- LED lantern replacements on existing columns
- New columns with foundations, ducts and cabling
- Structural and condition checks on old columns

Car park lighting FAQs for Shropshire
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Shropshire?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Shropshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Which fire safety law applies in Shropshire?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.
Can car park lighting be dimmed overnight?
Yes. LED lanterns can be dimmed or switched to a lower level in the small hours, often with presence override.
Can you reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
