Warehouse lighting work in Cambridgeshire
Warehouses around Cambridgeshire often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
Many Cambridgeshire sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
