Warehouse lighting in Ormiston
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Ormiston sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Ormiston
Loading bays in Ormiston need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
For Ormiston sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Ormiston sits within Edinburgh and the Lothians. We work throughout the EH35, EH33 and EH34 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Pencaitland, Tranent and Pathhead.
