Warehouse lighting in Hexham
What we do in Hexham: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Warehouses around Hexham 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Hexham
For Hexham sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Hexham warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
For Hexham premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
