Warehouse lighting in Soho
What we do in Soho: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Soho sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Local warehouse lighting in Soho
Loading bays in Soho need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Many Soho sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Soho sits within Greater London. We work throughout the W1F, W1B and W1D postcode districts and surrounding places, including Pimlico, Camden and Islington.
