Warehouse lighting in Yarm
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Yarm 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 Yarm
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Yarm warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Many Yarm sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
We cover the whole of Yarm, including the TS15, TS16 and TS17 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Thornaby-on-Tees, Stockton-on-Tees and Stainton.
