Warehouse lighting in Gillingham
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Gillingham 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 Gillingham
For Gillingham sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Many Gillingham sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Our teams travel to Gillingham from across Dorset. Typical nearby jobs include Shaftesbury, Wincanton and Templecombe, so we can often combine survey visits.
