Warehouse lighting in Derby
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Derby and Derbyshire. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Derby warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Derby
For Derby sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Warehouses around Derby 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.
We cover the whole of Derby, including the DE1, DE22 and DE23 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Mickleover, Sinfin and Draycott.
