Local warehouse lighting in Prestonpans
Loading bays in Prestonpans need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
For Prestonpans sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Our teams travel to Prestonpans from across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Typical nearby jobs include Tranent, Musselburgh and Ormiston, so we can often combine survey visits.
