Warehouse lighting work in Oxfordshire
In Oxfordshire 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.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Oxfordshire warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
What's included
- Loading bay, dock leveller and yard lighting
- Replacement of metal halide and sodium fittings and their control gear
- Lux checks after installation against the agreed design
- LED high bays or narrow-beam aisle fittings matched to racking heights
