Local warehouse lighting in Aldham
For Aldham sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Aldham warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Aldham sits within Suffolk. We work throughout the IP7 postcode district and surrounding places, including Sproughton, Hemingstone and Stowmarket.
