Warehouse lighting in Formby
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Formby and Merseyside. For Formby 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 Formby
Warehouses around Formby often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
In Formby 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.
Our teams travel to Formby from across Merseyside. Typical nearby jobs include Crosby, Maghull and Southport, so we can often combine survey visits.
