Warehouse lighting work in Northumberland
Warehouses around Northumberland 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.
Loading bays in Northumberland need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
