Warehouse lighting in Dolwyddelan
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Dolwyddelan warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Dolwyddelan
Many Dolwyddelan sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
In Dolwyddelan distribution units the key is the optic. Narrow-beam fittings down each aisle put light on the rack faces where pickers need it, rather than on the top of the racking.
Dolwyddelan is a local centre, covered by postcode districts LL25 and LL24. We regularly work across Clwyd, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
