Warehouse lighting in Whitburn
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Whitburn 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 Whitburn
Many Whitburn sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Warehouses around Whitburn often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
Our teams travel to Whitburn from across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Typical nearby jobs include Armadale, Bathgate and West Calder, so we can often combine survey visits.
