Local warehouse lighting in Walsall
Warehouses around Walsall 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.
Many Walsall sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Our teams travel to Walsall from across the West Midlands. Typical nearby jobs include Bloxwich, Wednesbury and Aldridge, so we can often combine survey visits.
