OPPLE designed the ideal lighting solution using OPPLE LED Performer Highbay and LED EcoMax Waterproof units which were used throughout the whole warehouse. LED Performer Highbay units were installed in ceiling areas, particularly with high roofs. The versatile Highbay Performers are available with a variety of beam angle options and light intensity settings which means they are ideal for use in industrial buildings with multiple ceiling heights and complicated layouts - fewer luminaires can be used compared to traditional systems without compromising on light levels.
