Industrial LED Lighting in Chicago, Warehouses and Manufacturing Plants

Chicago’s distribution corridors and manufacturing base need bright, efficient lighting that stands up to long shifts, from large warehouses and cross docks to rail served plants and food processing with cold storage. We match high bays and linears to ceiling height, aisle geometry, and target light levels, then consider glare control, sensor readiness, and service access to cut lifetime costs. For classified areas, we provide listed options that meet the code and the environment, and for food and beverage we prioritize smooth, cleanable housings and appropriate ratings. Expect dependable output, cleaner light, and fewer maintenance runs. Served from our Broken Arrow Oklahoma headquarters, nationwide shipping.

Industrial LED high bays with aisle optics improve pick accuracy and safety, while sealed vapor tights protect tunnels, wash bays, and damp corridors. Classified rooms in chemical or process facilities need explosion proof fixtures chosen for the hazard class and ambient temperature.
