Warehouse lighting in Oban
What we do in Oban: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Oban 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 Oban
Loading bays in Oban need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Many Oban sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Oban sits within Argyll and Bute. We work throughout the PA34 postcode district and surrounding places, including Lochdon.
We cover Oban by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in Argyll and Bute, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
