LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Southwold sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Southwold
We plan lift access in Southwold around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
For Southwold sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
We cover the whole of Southwold, including the IP18 postcode district, and nearby places such as Halesworth, Weston and Leiston.
