Warehouse lighting in Darvel
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Darvel sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.

For Darvel sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Warehouses around Darvel often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
