Warehouse lighting in Southport
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. We plan lift access in Southport around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Local warehouse lighting in Southport
Many Southport sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Southport sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
We cover the whole of Southport, including the PR8 and PR9 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Formby, Lytham St Annes and Ormskirk.
