Warehouse lighting in Strood
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Loading bays in Strood need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Local warehouse lighting in Strood
For Strood sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
In Strood 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.
Strood is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts ME2, ME1 and ME4. We regularly work across Kent, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
