Local warehouse lighting in Romford
For Romford sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Warehouses around Romford 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 Romford premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
