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