Looking for Warehouse Lighting Installations?

Traditional warehouse constructions allow for very little natural light though small sky light panels. By considering warehouse lighting installations at your business in Walton-on-Thames, you can achieve a great working environment for individuals on site. Precision Electrical Services are highly experienced electricians with a particular interest in commercial settings.

Why consider warehouse lighting installations?

As a commercial business in Walton-on-Thames, there are a number of electrical regulations you must adhere to to provide a safe, working environment for all individuals on site. One of those conditions is to supply adequate illuminations to the workplace to support employees with business operations.

Certain criteria must be met during warehouse lighting installations to ensure employees work spaces, racking, pathways and emergency exits are well illuminated.

Examples of warehouse lighting installations

It can be quite stressful to think about all the lighting options you’ll need on site. With Precision Electrical Services by your side, the team takes an active role in recommending lighting solutions which will help with overall functionality, efficiency and safety. A few warehouse lighting installations you might need to consider are:

• Emergency lighting
• High bay lighting.
• Entry and exit lighting

• Vehicle parking bay lighting

Warehouse Lighting Installations, the requirements

As per British standards, the level of illumination required varies according to whether the space is continuously manned or un manned. If your warehouse in Walton-on-Thames has racking installed, the level of light reaching the aisles will also need consideration. For example a manned aisle (transporting goods up and down the aisles) will require a lighting level of 150 Lux, Lux being the unit for illumination per square metre. Unmanned aisles only need 100 Lux.

As with most construction work, warehouse lighting installations must follow certain requirements. The team follows guidance from BS EN 12464-1 to ensure that there is safe access for individuals on site.

Another condition the team can help you with is the installation of lighting where you might have vertical racking from floor level upwards. Adequate lighting will help employees identify goods quickly and when operating machinery such as fork lift trucks.

Do we fit out large warehouse lighting installations?

Yes! The team are very knowledgeable on kitting out larger warehouse lighting installations in Walton-on-Thames. If your warehouse is in excess of 8 metres, the accepted rule of thumb is symmetrical beam distribution, typically arranged in a grid like pattern. This way you can achieve more uniform lighting which is safer for employees.

We recommend the use of LED high bay lighting where the premises have high ceilings, offering energy saving solutions and much longer life span. LED options also come in a range of colours and wattages, also offering convenient options for digital dimming where presence is detected.

Not to worry if your warehouse is a single storey or has a lower height. The team at Precision Electrical Services can provide suitable options to accommodate your business needs too.
