Warehouse lighting in Hatfield
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Hatfield sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Hatfield
Warehouses around Hatfield often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
In Hatfield 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.
