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

Exeter FAQs
