Warehouse lighting in Eastleigh
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Eastleigh 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 Eastleigh
For Eastleigh sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Eastleigh warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Our teams travel to Eastleigh from across Hampshire. Typical nearby jobs include Bishopstoke, North Baddesley and Hedge End, so we can often combine survey visits.

Replacing metal halide with LED often cuts lighting load by around 50–70%. One common example is a 400 W lamp drawing about 430 W with its gear, replaced by a 150 W LED fitting.
