Warehouse lighting in Speke
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. We plan lift access in Speke around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Local warehouse lighting in Speke
In Speke 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.
Warehouses around Speke 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.
Speke is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts L24, L26 and L25. We regularly work across Merseyside, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
