Warehouse lighting in Sunderland
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Loading bays in Sunderland need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Local warehouse lighting in Sunderland
We plan lift access in Sunderland around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
In Sunderland 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 cover the whole of Sunderland, including the SR1, SR9 and SR2 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Castletown, Seaham and Washington.
