Warehouse lighting in Bodmin

Local warehouse lighting in Bodmin
Warehouses around Bodmin 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 Bodmin 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 Bodmin, including the PL31 and PL30 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Helland, Lostwithiel and St Breock.
