Warehouse lighting in Colne
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Colne 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 Colne
In Colne 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 plan lift access in Colne around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
For Colne premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
