Local warehouse lighting in Barmouth

For Barmouth sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.

Warehouses around Barmouth 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.

We cover the whole of Barmouth, including the LL42, LL38 and LL39 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Arthog, Dyffryn Ardudwy and Llangelynin.
