Warehouse lighting in Pontypridd
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Pontypridd warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Pontypridd
Loading bays in Pontypridd need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Pontypridd distribution units the key is the optic. Narrow-beam fittings down each aisle put light on the rack faces where pickers need it, rather than on the top of the racking.
Our teams travel to Pontypridd from across Mid Glamorgan. Typical nearby jobs include Llantwit Fardre, Cymmer and Penrhiwceiber, so we can often combine survey visits.
