Warehouse lighting in Gretna
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Gretna 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 Gretna
For Gretna sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Warehouses around Gretna often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
For Gretna premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
