Warehouse lighting in Marlow
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Marlow 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 Marlow
Many Marlow sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Loading bays in Marlow need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Marlow sits within Buckinghamshire. We work throughout the SL7, SL8 and SL6 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Wooburn, Maidenhead and Chepping Wycombe.
