Warehouse lighting in Dalkeith
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Dalkeith sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Local warehouse lighting in Dalkeith
Loading bays in Dalkeith need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Dalkeith 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.
We cover the whole of Dalkeith, including the EH22, EH19 and EH18 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Bonnyrigg, Musselburgh and Loanhead.
