Car park lighting in Wincanton
What we do in Wincanton: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Wincanton 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 Wincanton
Footpaths from Wincanton car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
New columns in Wincanton need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Our teams travel to Wincanton from across Somerset. Typical nearby jobs include Templecombe, Bruton and Castle Cary, so we can often combine survey visits.
