Warehouse lighting in Guildford
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Guildford and Surrey. Warehouses around Guildford 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 Guildford
Loading bays in Guildford need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
For Guildford sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
For Guildford premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
