The main purpose of this application is to replace the sites car parks with modern, brighter LED light fittings. The existing high level column mounted car park lighting are Low pressure sodium and mercury vapor fluorescent discharge lighting respectively which is becoming obsolete. These types of discharge lighting and are less energy efficient than modern LED replacements and require regular replacement. The visibility of persons within the car park area within the winter months has been a topic of discussion and the site desires to increase visibility of persons to drivers of motor vehicles. The installation of modern LED lighting with a cool white light, as opposed to the yellow hue of the extant Low-pressure Sodium discharge light should over better colour rendering and visibility of persons.Drawings of the current and proposed lighting levels are provided and it is worth noting although the new modern LED lights will be brighter the heads will face down to try and minimise light pollution, the current sodium lights face outwards. This improvement is necessary to help towards the sites sustainability, to make the car parks safer at night and due to the sodium bulbs becoming obsolete.
