Local warehouse lighting in Waltham Abbey
In Waltham Abbey 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.
For Waltham Abbey sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Waltham Abbey sits within Essex. We work throughout the EN9, EN8 and EN3 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Cheshunt, Enfield Lock and Ponders End.
