Warehouse lighting in Leicestershire

Warehouse lighting work in Leicestershire
Loading bays in Leicestershire need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Leicestershire 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.
What's included
- LED high bays or narrow-beam aisle fittings matched to racking heights
- Replacement of metal halide and sodium fittings and their control gear
- Lux checks after installation against the agreed design
- Presence sensing per aisle so empty aisles dim or switch off
