Warehouse lighting in Appleton
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Appleton warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Appleton
Loading bays in Appleton need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Appleton 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.
Appleton is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts WA4, WA1 and WA2. We regularly work across Cheshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
