Warehouse lighting in Risca
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Risca 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Risca
Warehouses around Risca 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.
Many Risca sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Our teams travel to Risca from across Gwent. Typical nearby jobs include Abercarn, Graig and Newport, so we can often combine survey visits.
