Warehouse lighting in Longsight
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Longsight sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Local warehouse lighting in Longsight
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Longsight warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
In Longsight 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 Longsight from across Greater Manchester. Typical nearby jobs include Manchester, Manchester City Centre and Droylsden, so we can often combine survey visits.
