Local warehouse lighting in Widnes
Warehouses around Widnes 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.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Widnes warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
For Widnes premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
