Warehouse lighting in Irlam
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Irlam sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Irlam
We plan lift access in Irlam around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
For Irlam sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Irlam sits within Greater Manchester. We work throughout the M44, M31 and M41 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Partington, Urmston and Sale.
