Warehouse lighting in Hertfordshire
Warehouse lighting means high-mounted LED luminaires, usually high bays or linear aisle fittings, that light racking, aisles, loading bays and picking areas. We cover Hertfordshire, including Watford, Hemel Hempstead and Stevenage.
Warehouse lighting work in Hertfordshire
Many Hertfordshire sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Hertfordshire sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
What's included
- Lift and scaffold access planned around your operation
- Presence sensing per aisle so empty aisles dim or switch off
- Loading bay, dock leveller and yard lighting
- Lux checks after installation against the agreed design
