Warehouse lighting in Morecambe
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Morecambe 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 Morecambe
Loading bays in Morecambe need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Morecambe 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.
Morecambe is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts LA4, LA3 and LA1. We regularly work across Lancashire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
