Local warehouse lighting in Mickleover
Warehouses around Mickleover 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.
In Mickleover 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.
Our teams travel to Mickleover from across Derbyshire. Typical nearby jobs include Derby, Sinfin and Hilton, so we can often combine survey visits.
