Warehouse lighting in Newbury
What we do in Newbury: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Newbury 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Newbury
Warehouses around Newbury 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 Newbury sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Newbury premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
