Warehouse lighting in Thetford
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Thetford warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Thetford
In Thetford 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 Thetford sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Our teams travel to Thetford from across Norfolk. Typical nearby jobs include Brandon, Pakenham and Methwold, so we can often combine survey visits.
