Local warehouse lighting in New Cross
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in New Cross warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Warehouses around New Cross 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.
For New Cross premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
