Warehouse lighting work in Suffolk
In Suffolk 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.
We plan lift access in Suffolk around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
What's included
- Replacement of metal halide and sodium fittings and their control gear
- Loading bay, dock leveller and yard lighting
- Lift and scaffold access planned around your operation
- Presence sensing per aisle so empty aisles dim or switch off
