Warehouse lighting in Lakes
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Lakes warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Lakes
We plan lift access in Lakes around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
For Lakes sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Lakes is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district LA22. We regularly work across Cumbria, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Lakes FAQs

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
