Local warehouse lighting in Ashington
In Ashington 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 Ashington sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Ashington is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts NE63, NE62 and NE64. We regularly work across Northumberland, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
