Warehouse lighting in Christchurch
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Warehouses around Christchurch 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Christchurch
We plan lift access in Christchurch around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
For Christchurch 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 Christchurch, including the BH6, BH23 and BH7 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Bournemouth, New Milton and Ferndown.
