Warehouse lighting in Ludlow
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. We plan lift access in Ludlow around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Local warehouse lighting in Ludlow
Warehouses around Ludlow 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.
In Ludlow 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 Ludlow, including the SY8 postcode district, and nearby places such as Tenbury, Loughton and Hopesay.
