Warehouse lighting in Hadleigh
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Hadleigh sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Hadleigh
In Hadleigh 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 plan lift access in Hadleigh around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Hadleigh is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts SS7, SS9 and SS8. We regularly work across Essex, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
