Local warehouse lighting in Pakenham
Warehouses around Pakenham 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 Pakenham 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.
Pakenham sits within Suffolk. We work throughout the IP31 postcode district and surrounding places, including Hessett, Bury St Edmunds and Thetford.
