Warehouse lighting in Congleton
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Loading bays in Congleton need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Local warehouse lighting in Congleton
Warehouses around Congleton 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.
For Congleton 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 Congleton, including the CW12 and ST8 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Biddulph, Kidsgrove and Holmes Chapel.
