LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Penzance and Cornwall. Many Penzance sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Penzance
Loading bays in Penzance need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Warehouses around Penzance 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 Penzance premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
