Warehouse lighting in Highbury
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. We plan lift access in Highbury around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Local warehouse lighting in Highbury
Warehouses around Highbury often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
In Highbury 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.
Highbury sits within Greater London. We work throughout the N5, N7 and N1 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Islington, Holloway and Stamford Hill.
