Car park lighting in Castleford
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Castleford around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Castleford
Footpaths from Castleford car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Many car parks around Castleford 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.
Castleford is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts WF10, WF6 and WF8. We regularly work across West Yorkshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
