Local warehouse lighting in Broxburn
In Broxburn 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.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Broxburn warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
For Broxburn premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
