Project overview
We were brought in to improve the lighting levels across a busy warehouse production area in Shipley. The existing low-bay fittings were older COB LED units and the overall light output just was not doing the job, especially during darker hours. The landlord-owned fittings had to stay in place, so the focus was on installing a new, efficient lighting layer without disrupting the existing setup.
What we did
We supplied and installed a new set of UFO-style LED high-bay luminaires, suspended neatly on new wire suspension kits. The new fittings were powered from existing local 13A socket outlets, keeping the install clean and minimising downtime. We also provided additional cabling and socket outlets where required to suit the new layout, including extra coverage over the office area.
Smart controls, less wasted energy
Each new fitting includes integrated motion and daylight sensing, so the lights only work as hard as they need to. In simple terms: if there’s enough natural light, the fittings dim down, and if nobody is in the area, they automatically reduce output and then switch off after a set period. We programmed and commissioned the sensors on-site, tested operation with the client, and supplied a controller so the end user can tweak settings if their operation changes over time.
Safety and compliance
All works were completed using safe access equipment for working at height, with RAMS in place before starting. Cable sizing, protection, and installation standards were completed in line with current wiring regulations and relevant luminaire standards.
Result
A brighter, more consistent warehouse environment with modern lighting control built in, improving visibility for staff while cutting unnecessary energy use when areas are unoccupied.
