Warehouse lighting in Lancashire
Warehouse lighting means high-mounted LED luminaires, usually high bays or linear aisle fittings, that light racking, aisles, loading bays and picking areas. We cover Lancashire, including Preston, Burnley and Blackburn.
Warehouse lighting work in Lancashire
In Lancashire 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.
Loading bays in Lancashire need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
What's included
- Lux checks after installation against the agreed design
- LED high bays or narrow-beam aisle fittings matched to racking heights
- Lift and scaffold access planned around your operation
- Replacement of metal halide and sodium fittings and their control gear
