Local warehouse lighting in Garston
Warehouses around Garston 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 Garston sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Garston is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts L19, L24 and L18. We regularly work across Merseyside, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
