Car park lighting in Ludlow
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Ludlow 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 Ludlow
New columns in Ludlow need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
