Local warehouse lighting in Accrington
In Accrington 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.
Many Accrington sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Accrington premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
