Warehouse lighting work in Hampshire
Loading bays in Hampshire need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
For Hampshire sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
What's included
- Replacement of metal halide and sodium fittings and their control gear
- Lux checks after installation against the agreed design
- Loading bay, dock leveller and yard lighting
- Presence sensing per aisle so empty aisles dim or switch off
