Warehouse lighting in Ashford
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Loading bays in Ashford need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Local warehouse lighting in Ashford
Many Ashford sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
In Ashford 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.
Our teams travel to Ashford from across Kent. Typical nearby jobs include Wye, Shadoxhurst and Smarden, so we can often combine survey visits.
