Car park lighting in Pontefract
What we do in Pontefract: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Pontefract 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 Pontefract
Footpaths from Pontefract car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
For Pontefract retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
We cover the whole of Pontefract, including the WF8, WF7 and WF10 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Featherstone, Castleford and Normanton.
