Warehouse lighting in Wadhurst
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Wadhurst warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Wadhurst
Warehouses around Wadhurst 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 Wadhurst sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Wadhurst sits within East Sussex. We work throughout the TN5 postcode district and surrounding places, including Burwash, Mayfield and Tunbridge Wells.
