Warehouse lighting in Coulsdon
What we do in Coulsdon: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Coulsdon 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 Coulsdon
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Coulsdon warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Many Coulsdon sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Coulsdon premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
