Warehouse lighting in Sandwich
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Sandwich warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Sandwich
Warehouses around Sandwich 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 Sandwich need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
