Warehouse lighting in Newhaven
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Newhaven and East Sussex. In Newhaven 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 Newhaven
Many Newhaven sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Newhaven sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
For Newhaven premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
