Local warehouse lighting in Wantage
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Wantage warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
In Wantage 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.
We cover the whole of Wantage, including the OX12 postcode district, and nearby places such as Marcham, Shellingford and Didcot.
