Warehouse lighting in Ringwood
What we do in Ringwood: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Loading bays in Ringwood need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Local warehouse lighting in Ringwood
Warehouses around Ringwood 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.
For Ringwood sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Our teams travel to Ringwood from across Hampshire. Typical nearby jobs include Verwood, Ferndown and Fordingbridge, so we can often combine survey visits.
