Local warehouse lighting in Old Swan
Loading bays in Old Swan need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
For Old Swan sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Our teams travel to Old Swan from across Merseyside. Typical nearby jobs include Kensington, Norris Green and Belle Vale, so we can often combine survey visits.
