What we do in Duston: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Duston sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Local warehouse lighting in Duston
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Duston warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Loading bays in Duston need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
For Duston premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
