Commercial Workshop Electrical Installation for a Motorsport Facility

Electric11 installed a dedicated vehicle-lift supply and upgraded the lighting at a busy motorsport workshop. The project added a local rotary isolator, 18 twin LED fittings beneath the mezzanine and two 100 W PIR floodlights with manual override. The completed upgrades provide dependable equipment power and improved visibility for daily vehicle preparation and maintenance.

Motorsport workshops rely on dependable power and clear visibility. Technicians need suitable lighting around vehicles, workbenches and access routes, while equipment such as vehicle lifts requires a correctly planned electrical supply and a practical isolation point.

Electric11 planned the installation around the existing workshop layout, main distribution board, mezzanine structure and vehicle working areas. This allowed the team to add the required circuits and fittings while keeping disruption to workshop activity under control.

The vehicle lift required a permanent electrical connection from the workshop’s main distribution board. Electric11 installed the supply and added a rotary isolator near the equipment.

The local isolator allows the lift supply to be switched off independently when required for maintenance or operational control. The connection was incorporated into the existing commercial distribution arrangement rather than relying on a temporary supply.

The area beneath the mezzanine needed broader, more consistent illumination for vehicle preparation and workshop tasks. Electric11 installed 18 four-foot twin LED fittings across the designated rows.

The fitting layout distributes light through the work area and reduces darker sections beneath the steel mezzanine structure. The result is a more usable workspace for detailed mechanical activity, equipment handling and movement around vehicles.

Electric11 also installed two 100W floodlights controlled by a passive infrared sensor. The PIR activates the lights when movement is detected, making the arrangement useful for access, security and intermittent activity.

An override switch gives workshop staff manual control when continuous lighting is required. This combines automatic operation with the flexibility needed in an active commercial environment.

• Installed a dedicated electrical supply for a vehicle lift
• Connected the new supply to the main commercial distribution board
• Added a rotary isolator for local control of the lift supply
• Installed 18 four-foot twin LED fittings beneath the mezzanine
• Fitted two 100W floodlights
• Added PIR control for automatic lighting operation
• Installed an override switch for manual floodlight control
• Prepared the installation for testing and certification

The job record states that Electric11 will issue an Electrical Certificate in line with BS 7671. The completed certificate should be confirmed before publication so the case study accurately reflects the final testing and documentation status.

The completed electrical work supports both workshop equipment and everyday visibility. The dedicated car-lift supply provides permanent power with local isolation, while the LED fittings improve coverage beneath the mezzanine.

The PIR floodlights add automatic illumination where needed, and the override switch allows staff to keep the lights operating during longer tasks. The workshop now has a more practical electrical setup for active vehicle preparation and maintenance.

Electric11 provides commercial electrical installations for workshops, warehouses, showrooms and other business premises. Services include equipment power supplies, distribution upgrades, LED lighting, motion-controlled lighting, testing and ongoing electrical maintenance.
