New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. For Stowmarket retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Local car park lighting in Stowmarket
We programme car park works in Stowmarket around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Many car parks around Stowmarket 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.
Stowmarket is a substantial town, covered by postcode district IP14. We regularly work across Suffolk, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
