Local warehouse lighting in Canary Wharf
For Canary Wharf sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Warehouses around Canary Wharf 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 Canary Wharf from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Limehouse, Blackwall and Stepney, so we can often combine survey visits.
