Warehouse lighting in Northwich
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Northwich and Cheshire. Warehouses around Northwich 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Northwich
In Northwich 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 Northwich sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Our teams travel to Northwich from across Cheshire. Typical nearby jobs include Weaverham, Winsford and Middlewich, so we can often combine survey visits.
