Warehouse lighting in Downham
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Downham and Cambridgeshire. In Downham 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.
