Local warehouse lighting in Lockerbie
Many Lockerbie sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Loading bays in Lockerbie need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Our teams travel to Lockerbie from across Dumfries and Galloway. Typical nearby jobs include Annan, Dumfries and Gretna, so we can often combine survey visits.

Lockerbie FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Lockerbie?
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.

Yes. We work across Lockerbie and the DG11 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Annan, Dumfries and Gretna.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
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.
