LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Sandridge warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.

Warehouses around Sandridge 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.
Loading bays in Sandridge need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
