Warehouse lighting in Hungerford
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Hungerford warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Hungerford
Warehouses around Hungerford 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 Hungerford 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.
Hungerford is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district RG17. We regularly work across Berkshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
