Warehouse lighting in Yate
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Warehouses around Yate often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
Local warehouse lighting in Yate
We plan lift access in Yate around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
In Yate 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.
Yate is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts BS37 and BS36. We regularly work across Gloucestershire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
