Local warehouse lighting in Kirkcudbright
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Kirkcudbright warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
For Kirkcudbright sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Our teams travel to Kirkcudbright from across Dumfries and Galloway. Typical nearby jobs include Castle Douglas, Dalbeattie and Newton Stewart, so we can often combine survey visits.
