Warehouse lighting in Newcastle
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Newcastle and County Down. Warehouses around Newcastle 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 Newcastle
In Newcastle 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.
Many Newcastle sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Newcastle premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Rules that apply in Newcastle
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.
