Local warehouse lighting in Arniston
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Arniston warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Many Arniston sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
We cover the whole of Arniston, including the EH23, EH22 and EH19 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Bonnyrigg, Rosewell and Dalkeith.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Arniston?
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.

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.
