Warehouse lighting in Great Sankey
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Great Sankey sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Great Sankey
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Great Sankey warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
In Great Sankey 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.
For Great Sankey premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
