Warehouse lighting in Stanley
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Stanley sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Local warehouse lighting in Stanley
Loading bays in Stanley 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 Stanley warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Stanley is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts DH9 and DH2. We regularly work across County Durham, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
