Warehouse lighting in Newport
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Warehouses around Newport 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Newport
Many Newport sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Newport sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
For Newport premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
