Local warehouse lighting in Rochester
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Rochester warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Warehouses around Rochester 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.
Rochester sits within Kent. We work throughout the ME2, ME1 and ME4 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Chatham, Strood and Gillingham.
