Many Plumstead sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Warehouses around Plumstead 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 Plumstead premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
