Local warehouse lighting in Hertford
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Hertford warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Many Hertford sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
We cover the whole of Hertford, including the SG13, SG14 and SG12 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Ware, Hoddesdon and Welwyn Garden City.
