Warehouse lighting in Dorking
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Dorking and Surrey. Warehouses around Dorking 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Dorking
In Dorking 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.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Dorking warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Our teams travel to Dorking from across Surrey. Typical nearby jobs include Brockham, Capel and Leatherhead, so we can often combine survey visits.
