Local warehouse lighting in Skelmorlie
In Skelmorlie 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.
We plan lift access in Skelmorlie around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
We cover the whole of Skelmorlie, including the PA17 and PA18 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Wemyss Bay, Largs and Dunoon.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Skelmorlie?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
How much can LED high bays save?
Replacing metal halide with LED often cuts lighting load by around 50–70%. One common example is a 400 W lamp drawing about 430 W with its gear, replaced by a 150 W LED fitting.
