Warehouse lighting in Tranent
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Tranent and Edinburgh and the Lothians. Loading bays in Tranent need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Local warehouse lighting in Tranent
For Tranent sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Many Tranent sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Tranent sits within Edinburgh and the Lothians. We work throughout the EH33, EH32 and EH35 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Prestonpans, Ormiston and Musselburgh.
