Warehouse lighting in Ely
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Ely sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Local warehouse lighting in Ely
Loading bays in Ely need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
We plan lift access in Ely around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
For Ely premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
