Warehouse lighting in Dumfries
What we do in Dumfries: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Dumfries 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 Dumfries
Loading bays in Dumfries need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Many Dumfries sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Dumfries is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts DG1 and DG2. We regularly work across Dumfries and Galloway, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
