Warehouse lighting in Bude
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Bude sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Bude
Warehouses around Bude 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 Bude sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Bude sits within Cornwall. We work throughout the EX23 postcode district and surrounding places, including Holsworthy Hamlets, Forrabury and Minster and Black Torrington.
