Warehouse lighting in Boston Spa
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Loading bays in Boston Spa 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 Boston Spa
In Boston Spa 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 Boston Spa sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Our teams travel to Boston Spa from across West Yorkshire. Typical nearby jobs include Wetherby, Grimston and Harewood, so we can often combine survey visits.

Boston Spa FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you remove the old fittings in Boston Spa?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Boston Spa?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
How much can LED high bays save?
Replacing metal halide with LED often cuts lighting load by around 50–70%. One common example is a 400 W lamp drawing about 430 W with its gear, replaced by a 150 W LED fitting.
