Warehouse lighting in Yealmpton
What we do in Yealmpton: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Yealmpton 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 Yealmpton
Loading bays in Yealmpton need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Yealmpton 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.
We cover the whole of Yealmpton, including the PL8, PL9 and PL7 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Plymstock, Plympton and Ivybridge.
