Local warehouse lighting in Scunthorpe
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Scunthorpe warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
In Scunthorpe 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.
For Scunthorpe premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
