Warehouse lighting in Dartford
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. We plan lift access in Dartford around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Local warehouse lighting in Dartford
For Dartford sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
In Dartford 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.
Dartford sits within Kent. We work throughout the DA1, DA2 and DA8 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Bexley, Crayford and Swanley.
