Warehouse lighting in Abertillery
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Abertillery 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 Abertillery
Loading bays in Abertillery need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Many Abertillery sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Our teams travel to Abertillery from across Gwent. Typical nearby jobs include Ebbw Vale, Pontypool and Bargoed, so we can often combine survey visits.
