Local warehouse lighting in Portlethen
For Portlethen sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
In Portlethen 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.
For Portlethen premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
