Warehouse lighting in Washington
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Washington sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Washington
Warehouses around Washington 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.
Loading bays in Washington need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Our teams travel to Washington from across Tyne and Wear. Typical nearby jobs include Chester-le-Street, Castletown and Felling, so we can often combine survey visits.
