Warehouse lighting in Aberdeen
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Aberdeen distribution units the key is the optic. Narrow-beam fittings down each aisle put light on the rack faces where pickers need it, rather than on the top of the racking.
Local warehouse lighting in Aberdeen
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Aberdeen warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
For Aberdeen sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Aberdeen sits within Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. We work throughout the AB11, AB25 and AB10 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Bridge of Don, Dyce and Milltimber.
