Local warehouse lighting in Newburn
In Newburn 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.
Loading bays in Newburn need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Newburn is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts NE15, NE40 and NE21. We regularly work across Tyne and Wear, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
