Local warehouse lighting in Blackwall
For Blackwall sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
In Blackwall 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.
Our teams travel to Blackwall from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Canary Wharf, Canning Town and Bow, so we can often combine survey visits.
