Local warehouse lighting in Malpas
In Malpas 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.
Many Malpas sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
We cover the whole of Malpas, including the SY14 postcode district, and nearby places such as Whitchurch Rural, Wrexham and Waverton.
