Warehouse lighting in Kirknewton
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Kirknewton warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Kirknewton
In Kirknewton 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.
For Kirknewton sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Kirknewton is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts EH27, EH53 and EH28. We regularly work across Edinburgh and the Lothians, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

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?
