Warehouse lighting in Broadstairs
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Loading bays in Broadstairs 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 Broadstairs
Many Broadstairs sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Broadstairs sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Broadstairs is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts CT10, CT11 and CT9. We regularly work across Kent, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
