Warehouse lighting in Shirley
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. We plan lift access in Shirley around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Local warehouse lighting in Shirley
Many Shirley sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
In Shirley 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.
Our teams travel to Shirley from across the West Midlands. Typical nearby jobs include Solihull, Acocks Green and Wythall, so we can often combine survey visits.
