Warehouse lighting in Hessett
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Hessett warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Hessett
Warehouses around Hessett 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 Hessett 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.
Our teams travel to Hessett from across Suffolk. Typical nearby jobs include Pakenham, Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket, so we can often combine survey visits.
