Warehouse lighting in Durham
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Durham and County Durham. Loading bays in Durham need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.

Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Durham warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
We plan lift access in Durham around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
For Durham premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
