Warehouse lighting in Livingston
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Livingston 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 Livingston
For Livingston sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Livingston warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Livingston is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts EH54, EH53 and EH52. We regularly work across Edinburgh and the Lothians, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Livingston?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
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.
