Car park lighting in Chelmsley Wood
What we do in Chelmsley Wood: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Chelmsley Wood 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.
