Warehouse lighting in Somerset
Warehouse lighting means high-mounted LED luminaires, usually high bays or linear aisle fittings, that light racking, aisles, loading bays and picking areas. We cover Somerset, including Mendip, Bath and Weston-super-Mare.
Warehouse lighting work in Somerset
In Somerset 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 Somerset 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.
What's included
- Lift and scaffold access planned around your operation
- Replacement of metal halide and sodium fittings and their control gear
- Lux checks after installation against the agreed design
- LED high bays or narrow-beam aisle fittings matched to racking heights
