Warehouse lighting in Chester
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Chester 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 Chester
We plan lift access in Chester around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Warehouses around Chester 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.
For Chester premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
