Warehouse lighting in Southwell
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Southwell sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Southwell
In Southwell 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.
For Southwell sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
We cover the whole of Southwell, including the NG25 postcode district, and nearby places such as Lowdham, Newark on Trent and North Muskham.
