Warehouse lighting in Ongar
What we do in Ongar: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Ongar 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 Ongar
In Ongar 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.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Ongar warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Ongar sits within Essex. We work throughout the CM5 postcode district and surrounding places, including Epping, Ingatestone and Harlow.
