Local warehouse lighting in Pentyrch
Warehouses around Pentyrch 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.
In Pentyrch 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 Pentyrch from across South Glamorgan. Typical nearby jobs include Llantwit Fardre, Rhiwbina and Caerphilly, so we can often combine survey visits.
