Warehouse lighting in Newport
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Warehouses around Newport 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 Newport
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Newport warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
For Newport sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Newport sits within Essex. We work throughout the CB11 and CB10 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Saffron Walden, Stansted Mountfitchet and Bishops Stortford.
