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