Warehouse lighting in Gatehead
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Gatehead sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Gatehead
Warehouses around Gatehead 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.
In Gatehead distribution units the key is the optic. Narrow-beam fittings down each aisle put light on the rack faces where pickers need it, rather than on the top of the racking.
