What we do in Hythe: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Hythe 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 Hythe
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Hythe warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Warehouses around Hythe 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.
For Hythe premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
