Warehouse lighting in Hinckley
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Hinckley 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Hinckley
Warehouses around Hinckley 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.
For Hinckley sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
