Challenges We Solve
Poor Visibility in High Bay Areas: Aging or inadequate fixtures create dark spots, especially near racking and loading docks — increasing the risk of accidents, picking errors, and OSHA citations.
High Energy Costs Across Large Footprints: Running outdated HID or fluorescent lighting across tens of thousands of square feet drives up utility bills month after month, cutting into already-thin margins.
Frequent Fixture Failures & Downtime: Lamp burnouts and ballast failures in hard-to-reach high bay locations mean expensive lift rentals, operational disruptions, and maintenance headaches.
Compliance & Safety Requirements: Warehouse lighting must meet specific foot-candle levels for OSHA, fire code egress lighting requirements, and often facility-specific standards for tenants or inspectors.

Warehouse Lighting FAQ
How much does a warehouse LED lighting retrofit cost?
The cost of a warehouse LED retrofit depends on facility size, ceiling height, current fixture type, and the scope of work. Most projects pay for themselves within 1–3 years through energy savings alone. We provide free lighting assessments and work with utility rebate programs — including Seattle City Light and Puget Sound Energy — to offset upfront costs. Contact us at 206-647-3700 for a no-obligation quote.
What type of lighting is best for warehouses?
LED high bay fixtures are the standard for modern warehouse lighting. They deliver superior brightness, last 50,000–100,000+ hours, and use significantly less energy than HID or fluorescent alternatives. We select fixtures based on your ceiling height, layout, and operational needs to ensure proper foot-candle levels throughout the facility.
How long does a warehouse lighting installation take?
Timeline depends on the project scope. A straightforward LED retrofit for a mid-size warehouse can often be completed in a few days, while larger or more complex installations may take one to two weeks. We schedule around your operations — including nights and weekends — to avoid disrupting your workflow.
Can you work around our 24/7 warehouse operations?
Absolutely. We regularly work in active distribution centers and facilities with around-the-clock operations. Our crew coordinates closely with your team to stage work in sections, minimizing downtime and keeping your operation moving.
Do you help with utility rebates for warehouse lighting upgrades?
Yes. We assist through the full rebate process for Seattle City Light, Puget Sound Energy, and other regional utility programs. Depending on your project scope and utility provider, rebates can cover a significant portion of your upgrade costs.
