Warehouse lighting in Potters Bar
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Potters Bar sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Local warehouse lighting in Potters Bar
In Potters Bar 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.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Potters Bar warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Potters Bar sits within Hertfordshire. We work throughout the EN6, EN5 and EN4 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Hadley Wood, Barnet and East Barnet.
