Warehouse lighting in Wilden
What we do in Wilden: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Wilden warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Wilden
Loading bays in Wilden need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Wilden 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.
Wilden is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts MK44, MK41 and MK40. We regularly work across Bedfordshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
