Warehouse lighting in Knebworth
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Knebworth sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Knebworth
For Knebworth sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Loading bays in Knebworth need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Knebworth sits within Hertfordshire. We work throughout the SG3, AL6 and SG2 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Welwyn, Stevenage and Welwyn Garden City.
