Warehouse lighting in Blackburn
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Blackburn and Lancashire. Many Blackburn sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Blackburn
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Blackburn warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
In Blackburn 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.
Blackburn is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts BB2, BB1 and BB3. We regularly work across Lancashire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
