Warehouse lighting in Carrickfergus
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Carrickfergus 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Carrickfergus
Loading bays in Carrickfergus need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Many Carrickfergus sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Carrickfergus premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Rules that apply in Carrickfergus
Technical Booklet F2 (June 2022) and its non-domestic guidance set Northern Ireland's own lighting efficacy figures, which differ from England's, so we design to the NI figures.
Northern Ireland followed the EU timetable, with ordinary T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes phased out from August 2023.
