Warehouse lighting in Wickford
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Wickford 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 Wickford
We plan lift access in Wickford around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
For Wickford sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
For Wickford premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
