In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Loading bays in Totnes need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Local warehouse lighting in Totnes
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Totnes warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
For Totnes sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Totnes is a local centre, covered by postcode district TQ9. We regularly work across Devon, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
