For East Sussex sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
What's included
- Loading bay, dock leveller and yard lighting
- LED high bays or narrow-beam aisle fittings matched to racking heights
- Presence sensing per aisle so empty aisles dim or switch off
- Replacement of metal halide and sodium fittings and their control gear
