Warehouse lighting in Thorlby
What we do in Thorlby: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Thorlby 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 Thorlby
Warehouses around Thorlby 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 Thorlby sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
For Thorlby premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
