Local warehouse lighting in Fordham
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Fordham warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
For Fordham sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Fordham sits within Essex. We work throughout the CO6, CO8 and CO3 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Bures Hamlet, Colchester and Layer Breton.
