Warehouse lighting in Axminster
What we do in Axminster: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Axminster 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Axminster
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Axminster warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Many Axminster sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Our teams travel to Axminster from across Devon. Typical nearby jobs include Lyme Regis, Colyton and Chard, so we can often combine survey visits.
