Warehouse lighting in Galston
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Galston sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Local warehouse lighting in Galston
Loading bays in Galston need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Galston warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Galston is a local centre, covered by postcode districts KA4, KA16 and KA17. We regularly work across Ayrshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
