Warehouse lighting in Great Dunmow
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Great Dunmow sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Local warehouse lighting in Great Dunmow
Loading bays in Great Dunmow need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Great Dunmow 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.
We cover the whole of Great Dunmow, including the CM6 postcode district, and nearby places such as Great Hallingbury, Stansted Mountfitchet and Braintree.
