Local warehouse lighting in Castle Douglas
In Castle Douglas 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 Castle Douglas warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Castle Douglas sits within Dumfries and Galloway. We work throughout the DG7 postcode district and surrounding places, including Dalbeattie, Kirkcudbright and Dumfries.
