Warehouse lighting in Nailsea
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Warehouses around Nailsea 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 Nailsea
Many Nailsea sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Nailsea sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Our teams travel to Nailsea from across Somerset. Typical nearby jobs include Portishead, Clevedon and Yatton, so we can often combine survey visits.
