Warehouse lighting in Redbourn
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Redbourn warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Redbourn
For Redbourn sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Many Redbourn sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Redbourn sits within Hertfordshire. We work throughout the AL3, AL5 and AL1 postcode districts and surrounding places, including St Albans, Harpenden and Sandridge.
