Warehouse lighting in Gwent
Warehouse lighting means high-mounted LED luminaires, usually high bays or linear aisle fittings, that light racking, aisles, loading bays and picking areas. We cover Gwent, including Newport, Cwmbran and Pontypool.
Warehouse lighting work in Gwent
Many Gwent sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
In Gwent 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.
What's included
- Loading bay, dock leveller and yard lighting
- Lift and scaffold access planned around your operation
- Replacement of metal halide and sodium fittings and their control gear
- LED high bays or narrow-beam aisle fittings matched to racking heights
