Warehouse lighting in Plymouth
What we do in Plymouth: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Plymouth 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Plymouth
Loading bays in Plymouth need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Warehouses around Plymouth 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.
Our teams travel to Plymouth from across Devon. Typical nearby jobs include Plymstock, Rame and Saltash, so we can often combine survey visits.
