Warehouse lighting in Mistley
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Mistley 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Mistley
Warehouses around Mistley often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
Loading bays in Mistley need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
We cover the whole of Mistley, including the CO11 postcode district, and nearby places such as Holbrook, Elmstead and Colchester.
