Warehouse lighting in Danbury
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Danbury warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Danbury
Loading bays in Danbury need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Many Danbury sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Danbury is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts CM3 and CM2. We regularly work across Essex, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
