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