Warehouse lighting in Chorley
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Chorley sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Local warehouse lighting in Chorley
Loading bays in Chorley need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Chorley 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.
We cover the whole of Chorley, including the PR6, PR7 and PR25 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Horwich, Leyland and Bamber Bridge.
