Warehouse lighting in Charminster
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Charminster sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Local warehouse lighting in Charminster
In Charminster 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.
We plan lift access in Charminster around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Charminster sits within Dorset. We work throughout the DT2 and DT1 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Dorchester, Weymouth and Castleton.
