Warehouse lighting in Bradford
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Bradford warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Bradford
In Bradford 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 Bradford need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Our teams travel to Bradford from across West Yorkshire. Typical nearby jobs include Shipley, Pudsey and Baildon, so we can often combine survey visits.

Bradford FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Bradford?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Bradford offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you remove the old fittings in Bradford?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
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.
