Warehouse lighting in Cottingham
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Cottingham warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Cottingham
Many Cottingham sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Loading bays in Cottingham need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
For Cottingham premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
