Warehouse lighting in Edinburgh
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Edinburgh 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Edinburgh
Many Edinburgh sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Loading bays in Edinburgh need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Edinburgh sits within Edinburgh and the Lothians. We work throughout the EH2, EH3 and EH1 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Granton and Trinity, Leith and Morningside, Braid Hill and Swanston.

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
How much can LED high bays save?
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.
