Local warehouse lighting in Hythe
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Hythe warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
For Hythe sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
For Hythe premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
