We’ve recently completed a lighting upgrade at KingsGate Community Church, improving visibility, safety and energy efficiency across their car park and surrounding pathways.
The project involved upgrading all existing car park lighting to modern LED fittings, alongside installing additional floodlights to better illuminate pedestrian paths and crossing points around the building.
Why upgrade to LED?
Older car park lighting systems can become inefficient over time, with dim output, uneven coverage and rising maintenance costs. By upgrading to LED, the church now benefits from:
- Brighter, clearer illumination
- Improved safety for drivers and pedestrians
- Reduced energy consumption
- Lower ongoing maintenance requirements
- Longer lifespan fittings
LED lighting provides consistent output and instant start-up, which is particularly important in environments that experience regular evening use and higher footfall.
Improving safety and accessibility
Lighting isn’t just about visibility; it’s about creating a welcoming and secure environment for visitors.
The additional floodlights installed on the building help ensure that:
- Pathways are clearly visible
- Crossing points are safely lit
- Dark spots around the perimeter are eliminated
- Visitors feel confident arriving and leaving after dark
For community venues such as churches, halls, schools and public buildings, good external lighting is essential throughout the year; not just during busy periods or events.
Tailored lighting solutions
Every site is different. We assess:
- Existing lighting layout
- Power supply and infrastructure
- Required lighting levels for safety and usability
- Potential energy savings
- Aesthetic impact
The result is a lighting solution that balances performance, cost-efficiency and visual appearance.
