Warehouse lighting in Shouldham
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Shouldham 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Shouldham
Loading bays in Shouldham need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
For Shouldham sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Shouldham is a local centre, covered by postcode district PE33. We regularly work across Norfolk, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
