Warehouse lighting in Stroud
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Stroud 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 Stroud
Warehouses around Stroud 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 Stroud sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Stroud is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts GL6, GL5 and GL10. We regularly work across Gloucestershire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
