Local warehouse lighting in Harwich
For Harwich sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Warehouses around Harwich 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.
We cover the whole of Harwich, including the CO12 and IP11 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Felixstowe, Levington and Walton-on-the-Naze.
