Warehouse lighting in Alston
What we do in Alston: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Alston sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Local warehouse lighting in Alston
In Alston 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.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Alston warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
For Alston premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
