Local warehouse lighting in Gosforth
Many Gosforth sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Gosforth sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
For Gosforth premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Do you remove the old fittings in Gosforth?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How much can LED high bays save?
Replacing metal halide with LED often cuts lighting load by around 50–70%. One common example is a 400 W lamp drawing about 430 W with its gear, replaced by a 150 W LED fitting.
