Warehouse lighting in Pentwyn
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Pentwyn 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Pentwyn
Many Pentwyn sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Warehouses around Pentwyn 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.
Our teams travel to Pentwyn from across South Glamorgan. Typical nearby jobs include Trowbridge, Rhiwbina and Cardiff, so we can often combine survey visits.
