Local warehouse lighting in Cambridge
Many Cambridge sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Cambridge sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
We cover the whole of Cambridge, including the CB2, CB4 and CB1 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Great Shelford, Impington and Fulbourn.
