LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Porthcawl and Mid Glamorgan. Warehouses around Porthcawl 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 Porthcawl

In Porthcawl 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.

For Porthcawl sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.

Porthcawl sits within Mid Glamorgan. We work throughout the CF36 and CF33 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Cynffig, Bridgend and Coity.
