Car park lighting in Frome
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Frome around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Frome
Older columns in Frome sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Many car parks around Frome 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 cover the whole of Frome, including the BA11 postcode district, and nearby places such as Westbury, Warminster and Longbridge Deverill.
