Car park lighting in Mendip
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. For Mendip retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Local car park lighting in Mendip
Footpaths from Mendip car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
New columns in Mendip need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
For Mendip premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
