Car park lighting in Ipswich
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. For Ipswich retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Local car park lighting in Ipswich
We programme car park works in Ipswich around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Many car parks around Ipswich 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 Ipswich, including the IP1, IP4 and IP2 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Sproughton, Kesgrave and Holbrook.
