Warehouse lighting in Swindon
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. We plan lift access in Swindon around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Local warehouse lighting in Swindon
For Swindon sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Many Swindon sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Swindon is a major centre for offices, retail and industry, covered by postcode districts SN1, SN2 and SN3. We regularly work across Wiltshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Swindon FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Swindon?
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.
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.
Can you work out of hours in Swindon?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Swindon offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
What lux level does a warehouse need?
It depends on the task. BS EN 12464-1:2021 examples include 100 lux for stores and stockrooms, 150 lux at the floor of rack storage, 200 lux for open storage and loading, and 300 lux for packing and grouping.
