Warehouse lighting in Buxton
What we do in Buxton: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Buxton 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 Buxton
In Buxton 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.
We plan lift access in Buxton around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Our teams travel to Buxton from across Derbyshire. Typical nearby jobs include King Sterndale, Chapel-en-le-Frith and High Peak, so we can often combine survey visits.
