Warehouse lighting in Dundee
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Dundee sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Dundee
In Dundee 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.
Warehouses around Dundee often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
We cover the whole of Dundee, including the DD1, DD3 and DD4 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Broughty Ferry, Tayport and Monifieth.
