Warehouse lighting in Kidlington
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Kidlington sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Kidlington
For Kidlington sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
We plan lift access in Kidlington around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Kidlington is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts OX5 and OX20. We regularly work across Oxfordshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
