Warehouse lighting in Prestwick
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Prestwick sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Prestwick
In Prestwick 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.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Prestwick warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Prestwick is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts KA9, KA8 and KA7. We regularly work across Ayrshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
