Warehouses around Humbie 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.
Our teams travel to Humbie from across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Typical nearby jobs include Pencaitland, Pathhead and Ormiston, so we can often combine survey visits.
