Warehouse lighting in Harewood
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Harewood 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Harewood
Loading bays in Harewood need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Many Harewood sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Harewood premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
