Car park lighting in Taunton
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Taunton car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in Taunton
Older columns in Taunton sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Many car parks around Taunton 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.
Our teams travel to Taunton from across Somerset. Typical nearby jobs include Stoke St Mary, Wellington and Lydeard St Lawrence, so we can often combine survey visits.

Taunton FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Taunton?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Can you work out of hours in Taunton?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Taunton offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
