Warehouse lighting in Pontefract
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. We plan lift access in Pontefract around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Local warehouse lighting in Pontefract
In Pontefract 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.
For Pontefract sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
We cover the whole of Pontefract, including the WF8, WF7 and WF10 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Featherstone, Castleford and Normanton.
