Warehouse lighting in Stocksfield
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Stocksfield warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Stocksfield
Loading bays in Stocksfield need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Many Stocksfield sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Our teams travel to Stocksfield from across Northumberland. Typical nearby jobs include Prudhoe, Broomhaugh and Riding and Wylam, so we can often combine survey visits.
