Warehouse lighting work in Merseyside
For Merseyside sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Merseyside warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
What's included
- Loading bay, dock leveller and yard lighting
- Lux checks after installation against the agreed design
- Lift and scaffold access planned around your operation
- Presence sensing per aisle so empty aisles dim or switch off
