Warehouse lighting in Birmingham
What we do in Birmingham: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Birmingham warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Birmingham
Loading bays in Birmingham need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Birmingham 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.
For Birmingham premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
