Warehouse lighting in Canterbury
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Canterbury warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Canterbury
For Canterbury sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Loading bays in Canterbury need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
For Canterbury premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Canterbury FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Canterbury?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Canterbury offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you remove the old fittings in Canterbury?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How much can LED high bays save?
Replacing metal halide with LED often cuts lighting load by around 50–70%. One common example is a 400 W lamp drawing about 430 W with its gear, replaced by a 150 W LED fitting.
