For Newbridge and Ratho sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
In Newbridge and Ratho 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.
