Warehouse lighting in Ipswich
What we do in Ipswich: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Ipswich sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Ipswich
For Ipswich sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Loading bays in Ipswich need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Ipswich sits within Suffolk. We work throughout the IP1, IP4 and IP2 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Sproughton, Kesgrave and Holbrook.
