Warehouse lighting in Rugby
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Warehouses around Rugby 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 Rugby
Many Rugby sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
In Rugby 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 Rugby, including the CV21, CV22 and CV23 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Dunchurch, Gilmorton and Daventry.
