Warehouse lighting in Sevenoaks
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Sevenoaks sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Sevenoaks
In Sevenoaks 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.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Sevenoaks warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
For Sevenoaks premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
