Warehouse lighting in Swanscombe
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Swanscombe and Kent. For Swanscombe 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 Swanscombe
Warehouses around Swanscombe 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.
In Swanscombe 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.
Our teams travel to Swanscombe from across Kent. Typical nearby jobs include Grays, Gravesend and Longfield, so we can often combine survey visits.
