Local warehouse lighting in Leiston
In Leiston 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 Leiston around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
For Leiston premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
