Local warehouse lighting in Bathgate
Warehouses around Bathgate 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.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Bathgate warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Our teams travel to Bathgate from across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Typical nearby jobs include Armadale, Whitburn and West Calder, so we can often combine survey visits.
